More Details Tomorrow: AFA’s Response to Management’s Webcasts About Bernstein v. Virgin America (California Meal & Rest Breaks)
Originally posted July 7, 2022
AFA Alaska leadership is participating in the Company’s webcasts today about California meal and rest break laws. It is extremely premature and unnecessarily anxiety-provoking to suggest that downsizing or closing California domiciles is anything but a worst-case scenario. Management is mischaracterizing AFA’s involvement in the Bernstein v. Virgin America case. The MEC will communicate more details tomorrow after coordinating with the AFA International officers and with AFA Legal.
AFA’s Response to Management’s Webcasts About Bernstein v. Virgin America (California Meal & Rest Breaks) – Part 1
Originally posted July 8, 2022
Alaska Airlines management held a series of webcast sessions for Flight Attendants to discuss possible impacts of the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Bernstein v. Virgin America case. AFA believes that management’s intent of the sessions was to motivate Flight Attendants to pressure lawmakers to pass laws that exempt the airline industry from applying worker-friendly state and local labor laws to flight crew. At the same time, AFA is willing to work with the industry, other labor unions, and additional stakeholders to address the challenges presented by California meal & rest break laws through legislative clarification and/or alternate solutions.
