Brothers and Sisters,
Your Negotiating Committee met with the company this morning concerning pensions and health care.
The company was completely clear: They have no intention of continuing the pension plan. They plan to terminate it for everyone.
Also, they are serious about only offering the Definity/UHC plan the non-bargaining workers now have, with no other options.
We only have 57% membership. It's quite simple - Cessna thinks we are weak. Cessna believes that the non-members will happily accept whatever they are offered.
Give us the power we need at the bargaining table. We have fought so hard for decades for the benefits we have. We must organize the non-members to stand up for our jobs and benefits. Every non-member weakens our negotiating strength, not only for you as an employee, but also for your families.
Your Negotiating Committee
