I Support American Jobs
Yes! I pledge to support American Jobs @ American Airlines and those with related jobs in our community. I will tell public officials, the news media and community leaders that employees at American Airlines and American Eagle and all workers dependent on these airlines must be treated fairly. No attacks on pension funds, and no outsourcing of good-paying American jobs. We can stand together to support American jobs.
Corporate management and high-priced lawyers should not abuse the bankruptcy process to cut American jobs.
We are the 99%, who go to work every day, pay our bills and pay our taxes.
America needs a middle class with good jobs and good wages to drive economic recovery in our communities and across the nation.
Remember many of AMR’s employees are veterans. They fought for our country and now face unemployment or massive benefit cuts.

Since 1969, TWU has been awarding 15 four-year college scholarships annually to the dependents of TWU members. The awards are worth $1,200 each annually, for a total of $4,800 over the four year college period.
Winners of the scholarship are determined by a public drawing held each May at TWU Headquarters. The benefits of the first 30 drawings have been enjoyed by families throughout the Union. Sons and daughters of members in city passenger transit, railroad and air transportation, utilities, public employment, space installations, and allied industries are among those who began their college education with the help of funds paid to the universities.
The scholarship money is paid directly to the college or university that the successful applicant actually attends. Applications can be secured online and from the first issue of the TWU Express each year.

In the event that a meal period has not been provided in accordance with the foregoing, the employee is then free, if he so desires, to take an uninterrupted meal period.However, the parties recognize that in the interest of customer service, an employee who is engaged in line flight operations will complete his assignment prior to beginning this meal period, provided the completion of his assignment does not result in this meal period beginning after the sixth hour.
