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:

To Association Fleet Sisters and Brothers,

The Association Fleet sub committee met with AA leadership on September 12th to discuss contractual issues unrelated to the economic extension proposals offered by management on August 27th and 28th.  Association leaders will meet on September 18th and 19th to receive what we believe to be a final economic presentation from American management. 

We know that expectations have been set by pundits on social media, but Association leaders are working to ensure that the wage proposals offered next week are consistent with the industry and ultimately, meet the approval of our members.

Please trust that we are moving through this process as quickly and precisely as possible.  Thank you for your continued support.

Fraternally,

Association Fleet Negotiations Committee

Association Update

All Association Members: 

This will serve as the official update to the Association membership for M&R, MLS, MCT, MTS, and Fleet Service. 

As discussed in earlier communications, the Association met with American Airlines leadership this week to discuss the interest in a short-term economic only extension. During our initial sessions, we had thorough and meaningful discussions about the essential elements that would form the basis of a potential agreement. The American Airlines team came well-prepared and ready to discuss the framework of their economic proposal. In parallel, the Association Leadership Principals and Negotiating Teams held meetings to review and collaborate on practical options to pursue and reach an understanding of the facts that were presented. The Association teams came to a consensus and agreed to entertain an option that would best benefit the members we represent in all work groups. 

The second day consisted of group meetings between the chairs and co-chairs of the negotiating committees and American Airlines labor teams to ascertain language consistent with the proposal. There are future meetings set up in September to continue the dialogue between the parties to get closer to an understanding and an agreement. We realize there may be an influx of information circulated on social media by folks that are not present in the room for any of these discussions and their speculations could at times set unmanageable expectations. These were our first sessions of meetings with the Company, and we urge our membership to understand the delicate nature of this process as we navigate forward. We ask that our membership rely on the facts and information that will be shared with you through our updates during this process. 

The Association will publicize all information as it becomes available related to these discussions to keep you informed as it transpires, leading up to a possible short-term economic agreement. The next sessions of meetings are September 5th-6th for the Maintenance and Related groups, September 12th for Fleet Service, then September 18th and 19th for all workgroups. 

We thank you for your confidence and continued support. 

Fraternally, 

The Association

Association Update

July 26, 2024

All Association Members,

Today, leaders from American Airlines, Inc. reached out to the Association leadership to discuss the possibility of exploring an economics only, short-term extension of existing JCBAs.

American asked to schedule a meeting on August 26th to facilitate those discussions at AA HDQ. As previously announced, we currently have tentative dates for Section 6 contract negotiation openers for the Maintenance and Related, Maintenance Training Specialists, Maintenance Control Technicians, and Material Logistics Specialists groups on August 13th and Fleet Service on August 27th.

Those Section 6 opener negotiation dates will need to be delayed based upon this request from the company.

After the discussions with American Airlines in late August, the Association leadership will communicate any proposed economics with the respective Contract Negotiating Committees. Based upon the outcome of the proposed economic discussions, the Association will take appropriate actions.

The Association will continue to collaborate with the respective Contract Negotiation Committees and will keep the membership informed of all progress as it unfolds. Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Fraternally,
