Here in my hands I have a Declaration by a TWU official to the National Mediation Board Case # CR-6886 with reference to the incident in Philadelphia. I will include excerpts which are of most importance. It is quite shocking and disturbing. Names will be left out. I'm sure if you want a copy, you can attain one from NMB.
6. At approximately 9:00 a.m. on February 8, 2006, I was at the Marriott Hotel where the meeting was to be held, when I was approaced by my staff member, Mr. A, who told me that there were three IAM officials who wanted to speak with me in the meeting room.
7. As I passed through the lobby, on my way to the meeting room, I passed through a crowd of approximately 25 men. I believed them to be US Airways fleet service.
8. I went to the meeting room and three men were present. They introduced themselves to me as IAM officials. I believe one man told me that he was president of the local lodge and I believe another said he was an international officer. I do not recall their names, but at least one name appears on a police report that I will later describe.
9. These three men told me that my staff should leave town. I told them that TWU had a right to be there and we were conducting an informational meeting as permitted by the rules of the National Mediation Board ("NMB"). They repeated that we should leave town or the crowd of men I had passed through in the lobby would physically assault us.
10. About a minute or two later, the crowd of 25 men from the lobby burst through the doors of the meeting room. They came running in and were cursing and yelling. The room was set up for a meeting with chair lined up. The men picked up the chairs and threw them at us. They punched and kicked us and broke glass and furniture.
