Dear Members,
Hearing Board Decision / US Airways MEC E-line - sent by MECP
- Mike Flores
Yes, the hearing board has rendered a decision in the case of M
Flores v L LeCarre/ J Albers - If you remember there were 6
(six) charges filed by MECP MFlores. The MECP did not have the
full support of the MEC in the filing of these charges. The
Hearing Board, after hearing testimony from the parties did
apply (1) charge - Article X 1.(j.) of the Constitution and
By-Laws.
After the filing, up until the hearing board decision and
currently the JNC has continued to work together professionally
and has made some headway without any issues.
A lesson learned perhaps is that each member of a "Joint
Negotiating Committee" (JNC) should have equal access and
opportunity to review documents outside of negotiations. No one
member of a JNC should be accepting terms that would ultimately
treat other members of the JNC disparately. Each member of a
negotiations committee has signed a confidentiality agreement
and is expected to hold any discussions, proposals etc. in
confidence if requested to do so. ( In this case, no member of
the JNC released any information pertaining to the USAPA
Scheduling Proposal) No member of a negotiations committee
should be the 'gatekeeper' of documents and be the only one to
reference the material more than or at any time outside of
negotiations. Should any party providing documents to one member
of a JNC for review and state terms which would prohibit equal
access, then new terms need to be reached prior to any one
member of a JNC accepting any documents.
So clearly all of the events were preventable but when an uneven
playing field is created in an environment where equality is
utmost, issues may arise.
Thank you,
Lynne Caramello
