TWU Files Post-Hearing Brief in Pre-Funding Case
Published 18 Feb, 2016
As previously reported, at a hearing in November, TWU presented a major segment of its grievance regarding American Airlines’ plans for disposition of the employer matching contributions which the company made on behalf of TWU-represented employees. At that hearing, the union believes it demonstrated that American violated its collective bargaining agreements.
TWU has filed a post-hearing brief, stating “that the aspect of TWU’ s grievance that alleges that American violated the CBAs by not allowing post-October 31,2012 retirees to draw down from the Company’s matching contributions … to partially pay for their post-retirement health care coverage should be sustained.” The post-hearing brief was filed on Jan. 22, 2016.
