This TA includes a wide range of improvements: regional industry leading wages, higher per diem, 100% deadhead pay, an immediate 3 hour min day rising to 4 hours over the course of the Agreement, 6 paid holidays, an extra day off for reserves and much more. It will bring economic relief, a better quality of life for us all, and require Endeavor to pay us more within months of the amendable date which has been rare in recent industry negotiations. We have attached summary bullet points of the improvements below and we will continue to prepare all of the tentative agreement details for your review. We approved this tentative agreement to be sent to you for ratification after reviewing all of the details with our negotiating committee, staff negotiator, and staff attorney. We believe the details are significant and important for you to see. We reviewed line-by-line the language agreed to with Endeavor management for a collective bargaining agreement, and this full language will be available for your review prior to the start of our vote.
