Another jointly sponsored TWU Local 556 and Southwest Airlines Committee which provides invaluable resources for our Members is our Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) Team. Our highly trained peers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to be there and assist if you experience a work or personal related crisis. CISM was added permanently to our Contract (Article 24.10) in an effort to ensure that we will always have this invaluable resource available.
Your TWU Local 556 Scheduling Committee is aware that some of the cover letters (e.g., LAX, OAK) published by Inflight Crew Planning contain incorrect information. We are actively working with Crew Planning to correct them and will provide an update as soon as possible.
As your TWU Local 556 Health Committee Chairperson, I decided in August to deliver a monthly article that I believe to be relevant and interesting information for our Members.
February is nationally recognized as Black History Month—a time to honor African Americans’ profound contributions and achievements throughout United States history. It is a month to reflect, learn, and celebrate the resilience and impact of leaders such as civil rights activist and Labor leader A. Philip Randolph and educators W.E.B. Du Bois and Mary McLeod Bethune, whose efforts paved the way for progress and equality. This month and every month, we honor Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “The Father of Black History,” an educator and historian who dedicated his life to researching, promoting, and preserving African American history.
As we enter 2025, the Communications Committee encourages you to make this the Year of Involvement.
Involvement doesn’t require a full-time commitment or Contract expertise—it begins with something simple: showing up. Whether we’re talking about that knowledgeable Member you go to with all your questions, Shop Stewards, Committee Chairpersons, or Executive Board Members, all of them can trace their origins back to the decision to show up and participate in their Local Union. Did you know that showing up for your Local Union benefits our communities, the aviation industry, and the entire Labor movement?
