UNION CONTRACTS

Union contracts, also known as Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), are negotiated between labor unions and airlines to define wages, benefits, working conditions, and workplace rules for covered employees. These agreements are developed through a formal negotiation process involving union representatives, company negotiators, legal counsel, and subject matter experts.

When both sides reach agreement on contract language, the result is called a Tentative Agreement (TA). This proposed contract is then presented to union members for a vote. If members vote to ratify the agreement, it goes into effect according to its terms. If it is rejected, negotiations resume until a new agreement is reached.

A CBA is a legally binding document that establishes the rights and responsibilities of both the union and the employer, along with procedures for handling disputes and workplace changes.


 

THE RAILWAY LABOR ACT (RLA)

The Railway Labor Act (RLA), passed in 1926 and expanded to airlines in 1936, is the federal law that governs labor relations in the airline and railroad industries. It requires both unions and employers to negotiate in good faith and provides a structured process for resolving disputes.

Under the RLA, contract negotiations prioritize mediation and arbitration before any work stoppages can occur. The law also requires employers to provide advance notice of major changes to wages, benefits, or working conditions and to bargain with the union over those changes.


 

SECTION 6 NEGOTIATIONS

Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act governs the formal process for negotiating or amending a union contract. These negotiations can be extensive and may cover all aspects of the agreement, which is why they often take significant time to complete.

Negotiations typically begin with direct talks between the union and management. If an agreement is reached, it is submitted to union members for ratification. If talks stall, either party may request mediation through the National Mediation Board (NMB).

Mediation under the RLA has no fixed timeline and can continue for years. If mediation fails, the NMB may offer binding arbitration, though unions often decline arbitration to retain control over contract terms.
