* Immediately following the general membership meeting on Saturday, February 21, 2026.

We will hold discussions to evaluate our labor strike against Textron Aviation, focusing on the following areas:

• What didn’t work
• What did work
• How to improve our strike strategy
• Create a comprehensive strike playbook for any future actions

These discussions will help us learn from our experience, strengthen our tactics, and ensure we are better prepared for future strikes.
