Dear Apprentice Member:

 

As your Local Executive Council, we welcome you to Northwest Airlines and to the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA!  In Detroit, 7 elected local union officers comprise your Local Executive Council (LEC.)  We are flight attendants, just like you, and we volunteer for our union when not flying.  We are available to assist you as you begin your career as a flight attendant and as an AFA-CWA member. 

 

During your six months of probation, you are entitled to enjoy most of the benefits and protections that your contract has to offer.  We cannot represent you in disciplinary matters or file grievances for you during your probation, but we can answer contractual questions and are available to assist you at the local union office in Detroit. We invite you to utilize the Reserve Tip booklet and the Contract Reference Notes that we created, which summarize important parts of Sections 5, 6, & 7 of our contract (also known as the "CBA" or Collective Bargaining Agreement.)  These are available at the union bulletin board in the Flight Attendant Lounge and at the Local 94 office.

 

We invite all Apprentice Members to the next Contract Training sessions on March 12, 2008.  This is a chance to become better acquainted with your contract.  These sessions will take place next to the AFA Local 94 office (near gate A8, take the elevator to the apron level and follow the signs to the AFA-CWA office.) Two sessions will be offerred: 10-12:30 and 2-5pm.  Please stop in any time during the sessions and bring your contract (green book) and questions.  We look forward to meeting you at the office and on the line.

 

Welcome On Board!

 

Your Local 94 Executive Council
