KIM BARBORO GREGG VANDAGRIFF .png) Bargaining Update #817 APR, 2023 Our CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committee met with American Airlines management last week in our seventh round of bargaining for a new contract. The two sides exchanged proposals on the following articles: Article 6: Overtime-Customer Service The two sides reached tentative agreement on the language in Article 7: Overtime-Reservations and Article 19: Holiday Vacation, but not on the economic portions of those articles. Therefore, these two articles will now be held for the economics portion of bargaining. The following articles are still open: Article 3: Recognition and Scope As you can see, we have a long way to go, but our Bargaining Teams are committed to fighting for gains in every one of these articles. They need members' visible support to demonstrate to the company that we are all in this fight together. Recently, thousands of members signed the petition about the unilateral door-closing policy and hundreds of members have sent us their solidarity selfies, all of which has been noticed by management. Actions like these show the company that members are aware of what's happening in bargaining and are willing to take action to win a fair deal. Be sure to follow us on Facebook.com/AmericanAgentsConnected where you can like and share our updates and other bargaining-related content. Look for and use the hashtag #FairPayAA. Check in with your stewards or local officers to find out about mobilization actions at your station or center. Our next round of bargaining will take place May 16-18. Bargaining Update #716 MAR, 2023 Our CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committee met with American Airlines management last week in our sixth round of bargaining for a new contract. The two sides exchanged proposals on the following articles: Article 7, Overtime-Reservations The bargaining has been difficult because our Bargaining Teams are fighting for improvements in these articles, but the company is standing their ground. Nonetheless, the two sides reached tentative agreements on Article 12, Reductions in Force and Article 30, Safety and Health. To make real gains at the bargaining table, we must increase the pressure on the company. How do we do that? Members at every station and center must show unity and solidarity with the Bargaining Teams. It's the only way to move the company on the issues that are important to members, like giving us the work-life balance that we all deserve. Check in with your stewards or local officers to find out about mobilization actions at your station or center. And share your Solidarity Selfies and group pictures with us at info@american-agents.com. We'll post them on Facebook.com/AmericanAgentsConnected. Our next round of bargaining will take place April 4-7. Profit-Sharing Update For the purpose of determining profit-sharing payments, the quarter ending this month (March 2023) will replace last year’s first quarter, when there was no profit for the Company. American Airlines reports that it is on track to see a profit in Q1 this year and final numbers will be calculated for profit sharing soon, with a possible payout in May 2023. However, employees should be aware that no specifics have been decided yet, and CWA-IBT will provide more information as soon as it is available.
Our Bargaining Teams met up with the bargainers for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) last week in Dallas. They have been in bargaining for three years and just gave their economic proposal to the company last week. We agreed to support each other as we fight for fair contracts for agents and flight attendants at AA. Bargaining Update #625 FEB, 2023 Our CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committee met with American Airlines management last week in our fifth round of bargaining for a new contract. Our union committees proposed changes to the following articles: Article 14, Reduction in Force (furlough) The company proposed changes to the following articles: Article 7, Overtime-Reservations The two sides reached agreement on parts of some of the articles, so overall progress was made. Our next round of bargaining will take place March 7-9. Bargaining Update #510 FEB, 2023 Our CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committee met with American Airlines management last week in our fourth round of bargaining for a new contract. The two sides exchanged proposals on the following articles: Article 25, Grievance Procedure Article 4: Groups and Classifications is a really important article because it provides job security for our members. This article describes the exclusive work that members may perform by classification versus the work that a contractor or other airline employee may perform. Our comprehensive union proposal, which reflects members' responses to the Bargaining Survey, includes getting back some work we had given up in the past. Our next round of bargaining is next week, February 14-16. We need members at every station and center to show unity and solidarity with the Bargaining Teams to help us achieve our goals at the bargaining table. Next week, show some Valentine's Day love to our Bargaining Teams by sharing your Solidarity Selfies and group pictures with us. Include a homemade sign that says which article/s are most important to you and send your photos to us at info@american-agents.com. We'll post them on Facebook.com/AmericanAgentsConnected.
