TCU and IAM Send Letter to President Obama Requesting Veto of the FAA Reauthorization Bill
“Mr. President, we urge you to veto the FAA reauthorization bill as it will cripple the rights of railroad and airline employees. We continue to support consideration of a clean FAA reauthorization bill without changes to the Railway Labor Act or to the National Mediation Board" said TCU President Bob Scardelletti.
Transportation Unions Oppose Union Busting Changes to Railway Labor Act as Price of FAA Reauthorization
After it was announced that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a deal with House Speaker John Boehner to make significant anti-union changes to the Railway Labor Act in return for Republican agreement to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, TCU and IAM mobilized with other unions to oppose the so-called compromise.
“TCU/IAM will not stand idly by and let Congress trample over our members' rights. I urge every TCU/IAM member to call their Senator and demand that they pass a clean FAA Reauthorization Bill that does not cripple the rights of railroad and airline workers,” TCU/IAM President Bob Scardelletti said.
"These changes are clearly designed to punish the NMB for their courageous ruling last year to bring fairness to union representation elections by only considering actual votes cast...Ever since, the Republicans have declared war on the agency," Scardelletti concluded.
TCU and IAM Release Statements Opposing the FAA Reauthorization Bill

TCU/IAM and IAM also sent joint letters to each member of the House and Senate urging them to pass a bill that does not cripple the rights of railroad and airline workers.
