Volunteering this Holiday Season

Dear Members, 
 

Thank you all for your dedication and commitment, particularly as we approach the busy holiday season. The Company recently posted a request for volunteer support at the airports during this period, and we understand the admirable desire to assist and show support for other bargaining units during this festive time. 
 

However, we wish to encourage our Membership that if anyone intends to volunteer during the holiday season, it would be more beneficial to consider contributing within their own communities and charitable organizations. While we recognize and share the passion for our guests – especially during this festive period – the recent company request for volunteer support does raise some concerns. 
 

We want to underscore the significance of preserving the distinct roles and agreements within different bargaining units. Several members have expressed concerns about potentially volunteering for tasks that might belong to different bargaining units, such as undertaking responsibilities like pushing wheelchairs and other related Customer Service Agent (CSA) duties.  
 

Ensuring that tasks align appropriately with respective roles and agreements is pivotal in maintaining the integrity of our bargaining units. While the spirit of camaraderie and support is highly commendable, it is equally crucial to uphold the boundaries and responsibilities delineated within our agreements. 
 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Your dedication to maintaining the integrity of our roles within respective units is vital as we navigate through this busy season. 

Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication
