TO: ALL MEMBERS OF LOCAL LODGE 1781, IAMAW AFFILIATED WITH DISTRICT 141
SUBJECT: OFFICERS AND AUDITORS ELECTION RESULTS

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Thanks to the Local Lodge 1781 members who turned out to vote on December 14, 2011.

Local Lodge 1781 initiated the October 27 picketing at the San Francisco offices of the Philippine Consulate and of Philippine Air Lines (PAL) offices. The solidarity action was at the request of PALEA, the airline union at PAL, whose 2600 members in that country have been outsourced.

PAL tore up their contract, in place since 1946, without discussions or negotiations. In an insulting and humiliating gesture, PAL offered to rehire the workers for temporary jobs at reduced wages and benefits.
