Special Veterans Day message: November 11, 2008. 

Dear Sister and Brothers

Today we should all pause to remember those who were called upon to put their lives on the line for our country. This is a particular month of remembrance, the time when we give thanks as a people, when we go to the polls to exercise the rights that so many veterans have worn the uniform, carried our flag, fought for our freedom. But behind every veteran on the front lines were those anxious, gallant and sacrificing families at home.

Within the Transport Workers Union both at the International and Locals our veterans have never been a separate entity here, perhaps because so many of us are veterans. In paying tribute to our veterans, we are in fact paying tribute to the great heritage that we all share. If you know a veterans take the time today and say thank you to her or him it goes a long way, and remind them that they are remembered.

In solidarity,
James C. Little,
International President.

ATW Daily News:

Frontier Airlines is considering moving some of its maintenance operations outside the US, Denver's Rocky Mountain News reported. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents Frontier maintenance workers, said the bankrupt carrier sees outsourcing as a way to save money but complained that the move could result in the loss of 150 jobs. The Teamsters said Frontier management shared with the union a proposal to outsource heavy maintenance, which includes major repairs and checks.
