This agreement, replacing the 2016 CBA, clarifies important provisions such as seniority for overtime selection, employee rights during disciplinary examinations, and updates to the grievance procedure. To help familiarize both civilian employees and supervisors with these updates, Scott AFB’s Civilian Personnel Section, in collaboration with the National Association of Independent Labor Local 19, will host orientation sessions in the coming weeks. The negotiation process, culminating in the signing by Col. John Poole, 375th Air Mobility Wing commander, and Peter Cantwell, NAIL Local 19 President, followed DoD approval of the agreement on September 27, 2024. Scott AFB’s management representatives included Janet Grissom and Michael Dixon of the 375th Force Support Squadron, Jeremy Vasquez of the 375th Contracting Squadron, and Daniel Eads from HQ AMC/A6. The union was represented by attorney Claudia Lynch, NAIL Local 19 President Peter Cantwell, Executive Vice President Neil Thurston, and First Vice President Alan Winter. Negotiations took place across three sessions held January 23-25, March 4-8, and September 11, 2024. NAIL Local 19 serves as the exclusive representative for Scott AFB’s appropriated fund employees within the bargaining unit. To verify their status, employees can refer to the Bargaining Unit Status code on their SF-50 Notification of Personnel Action or at the top of their Personnel Document; a code of 2264 indicates bargaining unit membership. Union membership inquiries can be directed to NAIL Local 19 at 618-256-2774. Supervisors/managers with questions/concerns may contact Civilian Personnel at 618-256-9328. The new CBA reflects the commitment of Scott AFB and NAIL Local 19 to fostering a professional and equitable workplace that supports the mission and personnel of the base.
