Strike Vote Text Campaign
Originally posted January 22, 2024
Tomorrow we are launching our Strike Vote Text Campaign to encourage Flight Attendants to vote FOR the Strike Authorization. Be on the lookout for a text from a Mobilization Volunteer in your base. Let them know you’ve voted or ask any questions you have about the vote. Let’s get 100% participation and 100% FOR the Strike Authorization! Together, we can send a unified message to management: Pay Us Or CHAOS™!
Air Safety, Health, & Security Committee Meeting Recap – 1st Quarter 2024
Originally posted January 23, 2024
On January 4, our AFA Air Safety, Health, and Security Committee (ASHSC) Chairpersons met to discuss their ongoing work representing Flight Attendants’ interests in safety, health, and security. The committee met with management to receive updates and discuss issues faced by Flight Attendants onboard the aircraft. Reporting safety concerns is crucial in these challenging times. Use ReportIt! to file FAIR, ASAP, and fatigue reports. Contact your Local ASHSC if you need assistance.
Strike Vote Virtual Roadshow Recap
Originally posted January 24, 2024
Our Negotiating Committee held four Strike Vote Virtual Roadshows last week. The Committee discussed the Strike Authorization Vote and provided a brief overview of our current negotiations status. The Railway Labor Act was discussed, as well as our reasons for holding a strike vote. Attendees during each session were able to ask questions directly to the Negotiating Committee, our AFA Senior Staff Negotiator, AFA Staff Attorney, and AFA International Director of Collective Bargaining.
Mediation Session 1
Originally posted January 26, 2024
This week was our first Mediation session with management and the mediator assigned by the National Mediation Board. The bulk of this session was taken up with introductions, explaining the status of negotiations to the mediator, and setting expectations for mediation. We agreed to several provisions, including 10.X. Deadhead, and discussed others that should be relatively easy to resolve.
