Bylaw Committee Update – August 25, 2025

Fellow Pilots,

We are pleased to announce that the amended Bylaws have been approved by the pilot group, with 70.63% voting in favor of ratification. A total of 623 ballots were received, representing 45% of our pilot group. Thank you to everyone who participated—your vote is the most important way to take part in shaping the future of our union.

This is a major milestone for Local 2118. The revised Bylaws not only clarify outdated language but also give pilots greater control over the governance of our local. They have been sent to the Teamsters legal department for formal adoption and acceptance by General President Sean O’Brien.

Once the Bylaws are formally accepted, we will issue a combined Notice of Nominations and Elections, which will outline all relevant dates and timelines. In the meantime, we will also be distributing Teamster guidelines on conducting Local Union Officer elections to help everyone understand the process.

We are proud of this step forward and look forward to the next phase—nominations, elections, and ultimately, our exit from trusteeship.

Thank you again for your support and participation.
