United Contract Negotiations Update

17 June 2025

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Last week in Chicago, our IAM District 141 team met with United management to resume work on all seven collective-bargaining agreements. The Fleet Technical Instructor (FTI) and Security Officer sub-committees were also present and submitted updated proposals.

Security Officers
A tentative agreement is in place for Article 8—Union Representation, securing stronger representation rights. We are still fighting for paid lunch and trauma pay; United is resisting both items.

Fleet Technical Instructors (FTI)

Article 4—Hours-of-Service: solid progress on limits for working past midnight before vacation, reserve-release timing, rest-period notice, overtime, and daily/monthly scheduling caps.

Importantly, the National Mediation Board has ruled that the newly organized Flight Operations Technical Writers (FOTW) are part of the FTI bargaining unit. An advisor representing the FOTW group sat with us in Chicago; we discussed which parts of the FTI contract will cover this workgroup and what adjustments are still needed.

Article I – Classification Language was the primary focus this week.

Passenger Service & Fleet Service
Discussions centered on Article 4—Outage Relief, the membership’s second-highest priority after economics. After months of exhausting and frustrating debate, United’s latest offer is concessionary and a step backward. We will keep pressing for language that protects seniority and ends the misuse of outage-relief assignments.

Negotiations resume the week of 11 August 2025. We will report back as soon as that session ends. Your support and engagement remain critical as we push for the contractual improvements we deserve.

In Solidarity,

Your Negotiating Committee

United Contract Negotiations Update

13 May 2025

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

This past week in Chicago, your negotiating team and United Airlines management continued discussions for the seven collective bargaining agreements at United Airlines. We were also joined by the subcommittee for the Storekeeper contract, who actively worked on their specific proposals.

We are making steady progress on the Storekeeper contract proposals put forth by our membership. We held productive conversations on key areas such as increasing the use of 10-hour shifts—especially on midnight shifts—clarifying core work descriptions, and improving how assignments within the “bubble” are made to better respect seniority. Although we have not yet reached tentative agreements on these key issues, we are continuing constructive dialogue to ensure your priorities are clearly understood.

Negotiations for the Passenger Service and Fleet contracts also continued, with a focus on Article Four issues. A top priority, based on your feedback through proposals and surveys, remains shift bidding and the Company’s application of outage relief. We understand how important it is to establish a fair system that respects seniority and addresses the Company’s misuse of outage relief. While our last session reached a standstill due to disagreements over scheduling practices, this week’s discussions have helped foster a better understanding of your concerns. Although we have not yet reached a tentative agreement on this vital article, we believe we are making progress. Rest assured, we remain fully committed to fighting for the improvements our members want and deserve.

Your continued support and engagement are essential as we work toward securing a strong contract. We are scheduled to return to the negotiating table the week of June 9, 2025. Those meetings will include the subcommittees for the Fleet Technical Instructor and Security Officer contracts.

In solidarity,

Your Negotiating Committee

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:
