RE:  Economic Extension Vote Results

Dear TWU-IAM Association Brothers and Sisters:

The leadership of the TWU/IAM Association would like to thank you for your unity and participation in the 2024 JCBA Extension Ratification Vote. The Association membership turned out in great numbers to express themselves and sound their voices for the economic contract extension proposal. There were significant wage increases across all five contracts governed by the Association with an overall interaction of 68% of membership participation. The economic contract extension passed at 90%. This action affords our members’ securities and protections now rather than later, and the financial stability to address any unforeseen challenges that may lie ahead.

The Negotiating Committees for both Fleet Service and Maintenance & Related had similar goals and expectations when compiling the data and charting the course to entertain these proposal requests. Your voices and commitment to ratify these proposals speaks volumes and carries tremendous weight. This signifies that the right decisions were made considering the proposals, and further represents the times we live in today. We appreciate all of you for your support and steadfastness while the necessary steps were taken to get the proposals to you. Together, we will build a better and brighter future!!!

We are pleased to announce the results of the three Economic Extension votes, and the results are as follows:

United Contract Negotiations Update

8 October 2024

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Your IAM District 141 negotiating team and United Airlines management continued contract negotiations for seven different contracts last week in Chicago, Illinois. The District 141 subcommittees for the Central Load Planner and Maintenance Instructor contracts were also present and engaged in negotiations covering items specific to those two Collective Bargaining Agreements.

The Central Load Planner sub-committee reached several tentative agreements (TAs) that covered memorializing the Charter Desk position, description, and qualifications. We also reached TAs in regard to Charter Desk Premium, more favorable language for our members in regards to mandatory overtime, and improved language when it comes to our CLP member’s restrictions on buying an extra week of vacation. We continued discussions on Article 4 pertaining to overtime rules and Article 5 vacation rules.

We made significant progress on our Maintenance Instructor (MI) contract. Reaching several TAs on Articles One, Seven, Ten, and Eleven. These TAs will add two locations and increase the amount of time our MIs have to report. We tentatively agreed to better language surrounding the upgrade plan and also improved language surrounding international override. We also proposed changes to member-driven requests to improve Article Four. We are awaiting the company’s response to these proposals.

Negotiations resumed for the Passenger Service and Fleet Service Agreements, as well. We continued to have a very spirited dialogue regarding temporary assignments.

We also had some needed discussions about Article Four. Specifically, we discussed shift bidding, relief, and preferencing, which were some of the most important topics to our front-line membership.

We will return to the negotiating table the week of 18 November, when the sub-committees from the Fleet Technical Instructor contract will join us.

Remember IAM WORKERS LEAD THE WAY.

In solidarity,

Your Negotiating Committee

Alaska Hawaiian Airlines Merger Update

30 September 2024

The IAM and the Alaska/Hawaiian Leadership teams met last week to discuss and negotiate a Transition Protocol Agreement (TPA) for the Alaska COPS and RSSA contracts and the Hawaiian COFPS contract.

Negotiating a TPA is the first step towards opening our contracts for collective bargaining with the goal of reaching joint collective bargaining agreements.

Our discussions centered around ensuring job security for our members at both carriers. Job Security and Work Protection are critical for us to be successful and ensure long and fruitful careers at the combined carrier. We cannot and will not accept any deal that doesn’t protect our members ability to work.

While an agreement has not yet been reached, the conversations were overall productive. Our next meetings with the Company are scheduled for October 24th and 25th .
