The Company proposed to change language to the following:

The Company proposed the elimination of the following committees and letters:

• Workforce 2020

The Union rejected the following Company proposals:

The Bargaining Team TA’d the following:

Remember, the Company’s net profit in 2017 was $29.3 billion. That equates to $80,273,972 a day, including holidays (that’s like you winning the Powerball every day of the year).

We will continue to work towards a fair and just contract for all.
