Crew Member Self Defense Training

Following meetings between the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Machinists Union, The TSA and the Federal Air Marshal Service are now offering Crew Member Self-Defense Training (CMSDT) in the Houston, TX and Newark, NJ areas.  The techniques presented in this course are easy to perform and effective when applied correctly – something that is critically important when you must respond quickly.  Regardless of your physical size or fitness level, anyone can learn and execute these defense techniques quickly, efficiently, and effectively.  Participation is voluntary, but your Union representatives encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity!  We are pleased to advise you that the TSA has reported a marked increase in participation in the self defense training classes and therefore they have added additional training dates for May and June in the Houston area.  Spread the word with your co-workers and challenge them in joining you to attend this training course.
