This week the Association received the following counter proposals:

Voluntary Furlough – the remaining outstanding issues were resolved.
Limited Duty – we realize the importance of this article and are committed to enhancing the language to protect the membership.
One Station Complex (TWU) – this article is contingent upon other articles being negotiated and those talks continue.
