District Lodge 776 has about 9,000 members in the state of Texas, and represents workers at the Lockheed Martin plant in Fort Worth that builds the F-16, F-22 and F-35. To our IAM Brothers and Sisters of Local Lodge 735 employed at Vought Aircraft,
I’m writing to encourage the IAM membership of LL 735 to stand firm and unyielding against Company demands that have adverse affects on you and your family.
I have learned that Vought Aircraft has proposed a freeze on the pension plan for employees with sixteen years or less of seniority and move that benefit to a 401(k). Just another Company takeaway from a well funded plan. Vought should know by now you cannot hoodwink the IAM membership.
District Lodge 776 wants to commend each an every Negotiating Committee Member for their unwavering efforts and stance against Company pressure and takeaways. District Lodge 776 is a Supporter and Defender of our IAM Brothers and Sisters of Local Lodge 735 in the quest of a better way of life for the IAM membership working at Vought.
We urge the IAM membership to remain United, Strong and Supportive of their IAM Negotiating Committee.
In Solidarity
Tim Smith, President/DBR
District Lodge 776 – IAM/AW
