After Relentless AFA Advocacy, Alaska Management Finally Takes Initial Step To Protect Against Injuries From Dangerous Coffee Makers
Originally posted April 18, 2024
Alaska Airlines management has directed that older-style B/E Aerospace coffee makers must not be used without a Brew Shield. The action follows months of advocacy by the AFA ASHSC, Inflight Service Committee, and MEC, highlighting ongoing injuries to Flight Attendants from the coffee makers. Our Committees and MEC continue to call for a complete suspension of the older coffee makers until the issue is fully resolved to ensure the safety of both crewmembers and passengers.
Mediation Session 3
Originally posted April 18, 2024
This week was our third Mediation session with management and the mediator assigned by the National Mediation Board. We presented a comprehensive proposal that would significantly elevate pay for Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants and bring us in line with industry standard for RIGs/MPRs. We encourage management to come to the table ready to reach a deal soon. We are ready for a contract NOW.

April Mediation Agenda
Our Negotiating Committee is meeting today to prepare for mediation beginning tomorrow. Even though there was no mediation session in March, they used that time to discuss several sections that will be presented to management and the mediator during the April session.
Every last detail of these sections affects our quality of life. We are standing strong in solidarity to fight for the contract we have earned!
C-Suite Bonuses
While Alaska Flight Attendants continue to struggle with severely outdated pay rates, Alaska C-Suite officers took their huge pieces of the pie. AFA led the fight for the airline’s Payment Protection Program approval during COVID. Don’t forget where those BILLIONS came from!
Mediation Session 3 Update
Our AFA Alaska Negotiating Committee presented a full comprehensive proposal to management during Mediation Session 3. This infographic focuses on proposed changes to Section 21: Compensation and additional economic components within the contract. Our proposals will only increase as additional airlines reach and ratify new contracts.
