Wanted: Writers & Stewards
Your union wants you to become involved in your Local 1040. If your niche is in writing, and would like to become involved in writing articles for the local Newsletter.... If you could spare sometime to post flyers in break rooms in your terminal, we need your involvement....We are growing our stewardship! If your interest is in being a part of the backbone of your union, then Shop Steward is just for you. We are currently recruiting for new stewards to be trained in assisting members with responding to leave restrictions, AWOLS, LOCs, LORs, and requesting VLTPs and/or FMLAs.
If you are interested in assisting in any of these areas, or any other area of your union. Please send an email to info@afgelocal1040.org
AFGE Local 1040 (District 10) in Dallas, Texas (DAL) recently fought the removal of a LTSO who had been unjustly proposed for termination on the basis of alleged misconduct performed by him while off duty. In a meeting with the airport's TSA Assistant Federal Security Director, Jeffrey Tyler, who recently transferred from DFW International Airport, AFGE presented strong evidence to support their argument that the punishment was too harsh considering his overall above average performance & conduct on the job.
AFGE Helps "DAL" LTSO Keep His Job!!
Membership = Power
Encourage ALL your fellow officers to join and support the union. STRONG MEMBERSHIP says a lot when our negotiation team sits down at the table with the TSA management negotiation team... If OUR membership is strong, its like having ALL the members standing behind our negotiation team at the table.
WAITING TIME IS OVER! Its time for all TSO's, BDO's, and STI's to jump on the union train, JOIN and support THEIR union to ensure a strong contract.
There is no question that having a strong membership impacts everything a union does, especially contract negotiations. In fact, one of the first questions TSA Administrator John Pistole recently asked President Gage was how many employees have joined the union. When we go to the table, we must have a strong showing of members. Any management is more responsive when employees stand united as members. TSOs who don't join AFGE signal to TSA management that their workplace life is just fine and no change is needed. We know that policies like leave, shift bidding, transfers, uniform allowance and parking are in dire need of change, and the more members we have, the stronger we are and the better the contract we will get.
If you are a member, pledge to sign up a new member today. If you're not yet a member, don't wait another day to make a difference!
Ground Rules Impasse Broken!
At approximately 5:30 this evening in Washington, negotiators for AFGE and TSA reached agreement on ground rules for the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. The parties were able to break the logjam that has delayed the start of negotiations.
The signing of this agreement today, January 11, 2012, clears the way for contract negotiations to begin for the first collective bargaining agreement for the 44,000 Transportation Security Officers represented by our Union, AFGE!
AFGE's Holiday Bonus Bucks Campaign is back!!
November 15, 2011 - March 31, 2012
Bonus Bucks is based on a simple formula: If every member recruited just one co-worker, we would double our strength. As an incentive, you can earn $50.00 for every new member you recruit! This is your chance to build your union, protect your future and get some cash for the holidays. You must be a member to participate, so join first, then start recruiting.
- $20.00 from the National Union for each new member you recruit
- An additional $30.00 or merchandise incentive from District Wide Office.
- A laptop computer will be awarded to the top recruiter in each District.
