UAL Plan of Reorganization Balloting - Special
Attention Retired Members at United Airlines
The process of exiting from bankruptcy is reaching its anticipated end for
United Airlines. One of the last, yet significant, steps that must be
completed is the acceptance or rejection of their Plan of Reorganization (POR).
The details of this Plan have been distributed to those individuals
legally entitled to vote on this matter. Some of our members, especially
retired members, have received a complete package of information along
with a ballot.
The decision to accept or reject the POR is an individual and personal
one. Each voter must weigh the effect their decision may have on
themselves and their families. It is not a decision that should be
influenced by the Union. Therefore, District 141 is not recommending a
particular course of action for voting members.
It is necessary to note, however, that this proposal would continue the
protection of the existing Collective Bargaining Agreement for active
members and the current level of retiree benefits for our retired members.
A rejection of this proposal would mean that the bankruptcy process would
continue.
We encourage all eligible members to read carefully the documents they
have received and vote in what they believe is their best interest.
Fraternally yours,
S.R. (Randy) Canale
President & Directing Chairman
District Lodge 141, IAMAW

UAL Retirees OK New Benefits
Chicago, IL, June 10, 2004 - The United Airlines Retiree Coalition today
announced an agreement with United Airlines that provides insurance
benefit modifications for 50,000 of the bankrupt airline’s retirees, their
spouses and dependants.
“This agreement balances the company's need to remain competitive while
acknowledging the fixed income of retirees,” said IAM District 141
President Randy Canale. “The substantial resources of several AFL-CIO
unions and dedicated retiree representatives working together made this
fair and equitable agreement possible.”
With this agreement, all United employee groups, both active & retired,
will take part in the company's restructuring. Full details of the
agreement will be released upon formal submission of the accord to the
bankruptcy court for approval.
“Our top priority was to come to an agreement that protects the well-being
of thousands of committed employees who have devoted their careers to
making United Airlines a success,” said Association of Flight Attendants
United Master Executive Council President Greg Davidowitch. “The retiree
coalition banded together during our airline’s most difficult time in
history to formulate an innovative plan that addresses the company’s
financial need and minimizes the impact on our dedicated retirees.”
The Coalition is comprised of the International Association of Machinists
& Aerospace Workers (IAM), Association of Flight Attendants (AFA),
Professional Airline Flight Control Association (PAFCA), Transport Workers
Union (TWU), International Federation of Professional & Technical
Engineers (IFPTE), Pilots Section 1114 Committee and Salaried & Management
Section 1114 Committee.
