SCRIPT FOR CALLS TO CONGRESS:
• “Hi, my name is ________. I’m a constituent and member of the Transport Workers Union
Local [__].
• “I’m urging your boss to cosponsor (Senate) S. 3026/(House) H.R. 6028, the Aircraft
Maintenance Outsourcing Disclosure Act of 2018.
• “The bill was introduced by Senator McCaskill in the Senate and by Congressmen Garamendi
and Donovan in the House.
• “U.S. airlines used to employ American workers to repair airplanes. But now, they send much
of this work to facilities in China, South America, and other foreign locations.
• “As a result, the U.S. has lost 8,000 airline mechanic jobs. Offshoring this work also poses
safety and security risks, since several important FAA and TSA regulations don’t apply to
foreign workers.
• “But many people who fly on U.S. airlines don’t know this is happening. Your boss can change
that by cosponsoring this bill that will shine a light on this unsafe and job-killing practice.
• “S. 3026 / H.R. 6028 is simple: it would require U.S. airlines to list on their websites and
on passenger ticket information the countries where they repair their planes.
• “This transparency will benefit passengers as they shop for flights and will help inform
regulators’ work to keep air travel safe.
• “Will your boss cosponsor the Aircraft Maintenance Outsourcing Disclosure Act?
• (WAIT FOR RESPONSE. GIVE THEM YOUR NAME & ADDRESS TO REGISTER

• “Thank you. Have a nice day.” (HANG UP.)
