        Tell Management: It’s Time To Make it Right!

        May 18, 2022 17:00

        Master Executive Council (MEC)

        • Our MEC will be approaching management this week to discuss a meaningful remedy to the recent bidding errors and delays.
        • We have heard loud and clear that Flight Attendants expect that any remedy will include an element of compensation in order to hold management accountable.
        • Stand in solidarity and support our MEC by sending management a letter telling them it’s time to make it right!

        Now that bids have finally been awarded for June 2022, it is time to focus our attention on addressing management’s continued disregard for our collective bargaining agreement by publishing bid packets that are full of errors and failing to award bids in a contractually compliant manner.  Our Master Executive Council (MEC) has heard loud and clear from our Flight Attendants that you expect management to provide a meaningful remedy to the situation that includes compensation for their continued violation of contractual obligations.  We could not agree with you more and will be approaching management this week to make this request on behalf of all Flight Attendants.

        TAKE ACTION: Stand in Solidarity and Let Management Hear Our Voices!

        Our MEC needs your support to let management know just how serious we are about holding them accountable.  Take action now and send management a letter telling them that it’s time to make it right!  We’ve made it easy, just click the link below.  A template letter has already been written for you, all you need to do is enter your contact information.

        Click here to send management your letter

        We must show management that we are tired of their excuses and demand that they hold themselves accountable in the same way they hold Flight Attendants accountable.  Let management know that we stand together in solidarity and tell them it’s time to make it right!

          I am also highly suspicious that they retracted the bidding awards because they realized the error of the lack of pilots for the schedule that was being awarded for the flight attendants. IF THIS IS SO, this is highly unacceptable!

          Is this a joint campaign with TWU 556? Both announced similar messages yesterday.

            Even though our campaign is similarly titled and launched at about the same time, there was no coordination with TWU Local 556 on this.
