GRAPEVINE 7/20/99


We have gotten word that management's appeal on the unresolved LMOU
items ALL FAILED!  That means only those changes AGREED to in direct
negotiations will go into effect.  Basically we will have the same LMOU
for this contract.  The only change other than typo corrections &
cleanup language was clarification on how staffing is done on holidays
as far as the overtime list is concerned.  This is a big WIN for us -
management wanted their appeal items badly!


Here's Loren's note on the news.

This is Bob Kessler's letter we received today concerning Impasse
decisions:

_________________________

July 15, 1999

Dear Loren:

Enclosed are the results of Impasse discussions of those items impassed
by 
management.

Items 4 and 9 will remain the same.  Management had no record of a
management 
appeal on Item #14, therefore, they did not want to address it. 
Therefore, 
it will remain the same as it will officially die come July 20, 1999
when the 
deadline for appeal to arbitration expires.

Robert D. Kessler
National Business Agent

(Impasse items signed off by Del Stracner for Management (Labor
Relations, 
Dallas); and Bob Kessler for APWU.  Both Items 4.H and 9-B stated: 
"Resolved 
as Follows:  Item _______ will remain as in 1994 LMOU.")

Loren Adams
President

Thanks for all your support and HUZZAHS for the Negotiating Committee!
