Subject: Grievance Case Number: 06-018
Relief Pilot Workover Pay
Dear Local 109 Member:
We have just received the following Award in the matter concerning Relief Pilots who were denied workover pay.
Issue:
Has the Company violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement by its method of designating workover status for Relief Pilots? If so, what is the appropriate remedy?
Arbitrator William L. Mckee ruled as follows:
Award:
(1) The grievance is upheld in that the Company has violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement by its denial of workover status for Relief Pilots who had not worked a certain number of shifts.
(2) The Company will immediately cease in its denial of workover status for Relief Pilots who qualify and make whole any and all Relief Pilots who should have been compensated at the workover rate for shifts worked on scheduled days off.
(3) I retain jurisdiction to resolve disagreements involving the interpretation or application of this remedy.
In solidarity,
Local 109 Executive Board
