The fourth issue of the TAMC (Teamsters Aviation Mechanics Coalition) newsletter, Nuts and Bolts, is out and ready to read. This special-report version focuses on major current events in the airline industry that are affecting both union and nonunion employees, including:

• A hearing before the House Subcommittee on Transportation Security and Infrastructure protection in which TAMC Chair, Chris Moore, presented testimony;
• Rule changes proposed by the TSA that would tighten security restrictions at foreign repair stations;
• Proposed rule changes by the National Mediation Board (NMB) that would make union elections more fair for workers in the rail and airline industries;
• And an essay by United Airlines mechanic Dave Saucedo about legal loopholes that allow non-certified mechanics to work in the United States.

With so much information in one newsletter, it is imperative that this newsletter be distributed to all the aviation mechanics and related members represented by the Teamsters Union. Please take time to read this newsletter and then pass it on to your coworkers. Don’t delay. Read it today! [Link to 4th issue of TAMC newsletter]
