A new federal directive requires healthcare plans to cover the cost of FDA-approved over-the-counter COVID-19 tests. Textron Aviation has sent the following communication regarding employee coverage and the tests.
Please note: The 40th Annual Union Label Chili Feed & Bingo Night scheduled for February 12, 2022, has been postponed until further notice.
Textron Aviation has posted a COVID-19 Quarantine Policy Update on the Info Hub at https://ww2.txtav.com/Employee/InfoHub/InfoHubLogin
Shop Stewards at Textron Aviation are being notified by Plant Chairs to pick up our 2022 Member Calendars for distribution this week. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 measures in place when we would “normally” take member group photos, this year’s calendar features random IAM members performing the skilled labor that manufactures the world-class aircraft we produce. In addition, the calendar includes former Local 708 members from Flight Safety Defense Corporation, Yulista group, and Valiant group who were merged into Local 774 in 2021. Unfortunately, the DynCorp and TRDI group (Also merged into Local 774) pictures were not included in this year’s calendar. #UnionMade#iam774
