Update January 5th 2016

Due to the slow speed of delivery of the contract and voting instructions, the counting of the
ballots has been extended, and will now take place at noon est on February 1st. The reason for
the delayed delivery appears to be twofold. First the packages had to be sent as bulk mail
because of the weight of the documents and second the packages went out on December 23rd
which is in the middle of the holiday mailing season. In addition, several members expressed
concern that they would not have enough time to fully review the company’s closeout proposal
and the additional seven days should provide enough time to address those concerns. If you
have not received your ballot by Thursday, January 14th, contact your Local Union to request a
new or replacement ballot.

TeamCare Call

Yesterday TeamCare hosted it’s first tele town hall conference call. Thousands of participants
dialed in at the same time which caused an overload of the switching system. As a result many
members were dropped or denied access to the call. The recording of yesterday’s call is now
available at http://ibt.io/UAL-TeamCare.
There will be another TeamCare tele town hall conference call this Thursday, January 7, at
6pm Pacific Time. To participate call 1-877-229-8493, with ID code 114828.
