United Contract Negotiations Update
29 May 2024
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Last week, we met with United Airlines to set logistics, protocols, and scheduling for our upcoming contract negotiations.
Our members have been clear. We are overdue for a comprehensive contract negotiation under the rules set forth under Section Six of the Railway Labor Act.
Both sides will form subcommittees to work on specific language for each Article across all seven contracts: Fleet Service, Passenger Service, Storekeepers, Maintenance Instructors, Security Officers, Central Load Planners, and Fleet Technical Instructors and Related.
We have agreed to meet one week each month to exchange proposals, starting with Article One. The first sessions are scheduled for the weeks of June 24th, July 15th, and August 12th.
Setting these ground rules is crucial for ensuring a structured and efficient negotiation process. We will provide an update after each session.
In solidarity,
Your Negotiating Committee
