Labor/Management Meeting

Not much has come out between the meeting with management and the union.

Gerry Berry did in fact make the meeting. Yet, Mindy Pengel was noticeably absent. She was apparently on vacation. Coincidence??? Donnie Filbert and Lavon Smith were there as well.

From what we've gathered, many of the issues that were raised from last week's meeting were brought up to management. And they are apparently willing to work with the union on many of those issues.

Management did admit that a lot of the problems are because of lack of workers, something they claim they are working on.

I hope CAS and TSA realizes that we're a year to less than a year away from having Terminal 2 open and that they better get working on it now.

To be fair, a lot of the hiring issues is because of TSA's typical government way of doing things. The ability to hire someone is dependent on TSA's bureaucratic policies and thy say when and how many to hire. CAS could alleviate some things by hiring more part time employees, but they're still reliant on TSA's approval.

We'll report more as we hear it.
