Bylaws Committee Update

BYLAWS COMMITTEE UPDATE

August 10, 2020

Fellow Crewmembers,
Â
The Bylaws Committee has created a survey to gather information about what issues in the proposed bylaws are most important to our pilot group. As we stated in last weekâs email, this survey is extremely important as it will provide us with the data to present to the IBT as we inform them of what changes our crewmembers demand. The link to the survey can be found below. This survey will remain open for one week and will close at 2100z (5:00pm EDT) on Monday, August 17. We ask that you please take a brief moment to complete this survey and encourage your fellow crewmembers on the line to do the same.

Last Thursday, August 6, the Bylaws Committee submitted an official request for clarification to the IBT Legal Staff in Washington, D.C. (The request can viewed on the members-only website members.iap2750.org by clicking âProposed Bylawsâ on the sidebar menu in the âDocumentsâ section). In that request, we presented several topics which crewmembers suggested as recommendations during the original bylaw comment period. Originally, the pilot group was told that two of these suggestions were unable to be incorporated due to recommendations made by IBT Legal, while a third was changed at the direction of the Exco. We will share more on this when receive a response from the IBT.
Â
Last week, Committee Member Lazaro (âLazâ) Castellanos resigned from the Bylaws Committee. We thank Lazaro for his support and assistance during his time on the Committee.
Â
Finally, we will be hosting a Bylaws Committee crew webinar on Wednesday, August 12^that 3:00pm Eastern Time. This webinar will be an opportunity for any crewmember to voice questions or concerns that they have about the proposed bylaws as well as share what they would like to see changed. Look for a separate registration email to sign up for this event.

Fraternally,

Fellow Crewmembers,

In light of the recent vote of the Local 2750 bylaws failing to be ratified, Union Leadership has created a Bylaws Committee. This Committee is composed of regular line pilots who were critical of the proposed bylaws during the original comment period. The goal of this Committee is to solicit input from the general membership and modify the proposed bylaws to ensure that the desires of our crewmembers are reflected to the greatest extent possible. The Bylaws Committee will be independent of the ExCo and will directly consult the legal department of the IBT in Washington D.C. to ensure that we have a clear understanding of what is, and what is not, achievable under Federal Labor laws as well as the Constitution of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

The high level of participation we have seen on what might ordinarily seem to be a dull or uninteresting process is an encouraging sign that the membership want their voices heard. However, in order to achieve what the membership will demand in these bylaws,Â we need your continued support and participation. The Bylaws Committee will soon be issuing a brief survey to collect information from the membership about what is most important to them. This survey will be critically important, as it will provide us the data to present to the IBT to show them exactly what our crewmembers demand to be included in the revised bylaws.

We pledge to keep this process as transparent as possible. This transparency will consist of progress reports, a projected timeline, and accessibility.Â We believe this will hold us accountable and also gives crewmembers every opportunity to direct our path forward. We plan on using the Local 2750 website as the primary conduit for communicating with you. Additionally, we will use emails, the Union message board, and crew webinars to bolster communication efforts.

We invite any member of Local 2750 to contact us at any time to share your thoughts, ideas, or concerns by emailing us atÂ bylaws@iap2750.orgÂ or to call us directly.

Fraternally,

Ryan Smith, Chairman – (956) 821-3769
