How to Share Your Thoughts & Ideas With Our Negotiating Committee
Originally posted July 25, 2022
Our Negotiating Committee is working to gather your thoughts, ideas for change and improvement, and any other feedback about upcoming contract negotiations. They’ll be using this feedback to help prepare our AFA opening proposal. Our Negotiating Committee and management will exchange opening proposals when negotiations begin and use these as a starting point for discussions at the bargaining table. Sharing your thoughts and ideas is easy! Check out the ways that you can make sure that our Negotiating Committee receives your feedback and that your voice is heard!
Grievance Committee Update – 1st and 2nd Quarters 2022
Originally posted July 27, 2022
Our Grievance Committee works to protect all Flight Attendants from arbitrary and unjust disciplinary action and to uphold our collective bargaining agreement. This update provides a short summary of the committee’s work over the past two quarters. Management has issued discipline lately for a variety of reasons. Read on for more information about the reasons why management is disciplining and terminating Flight Attendants. If you’ve faced a situation that you believe might be a contractual violation, please report the issue through the AFA Alaska Online Support Center. AFA Representatives review each report submitted and will follow up to help you determine options and a course of action.

Our Negotiations Survey will launch next week! The survey will open on Wednesday, August 3rd and close on Friday, August 19th. It’s critically important that all Flight Attendants participate in the survey to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. The survey will be sent out to all Flight Attendants using contact information on file with AFA. If your contact information has recently changed, make sure to update it as soon as possible so you’re able to receive your invitation to complete the survey.
