Grievance Committee Update – 4th Quarter 2023, 1st Quarter 2024
Originally posted March 14, 2024
Our Grievance Committee protects all Flight Attendants from arbitrary and unjust disciplinary action and upholds our collective bargaining agreement. This update briefly summarizes the committee’s work over the past quarter. Management has issued discipline lately for a variety of reasons. Read on for more information about 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.

Mediation: Who, When, Why and What’s Next?
Mediation. It’s where we are in the Negotiations timeline, but what does that mean? Here is a brief overview of some frequently asked questions.
Our Collective Voice
AFA social media campaigns and content are designed and vetted to amplify our voices while protecting your legal rights. To ensure you’re always covered, we recommend sharing only AFA-created content. We don’t want anyone to face potential discipline, so please be careful when posting unofficial content about management on your social media.
Building Political Power
From Anchorage to San Diego, your local Government Affairs Committee has been meeting with members of Congress to share the issues that matter most to you. Whether that is important legislation such as Cabin Air Safety or updates about ongoing negotiations, we have a voice that must be heard.
Flight Attendants hold a lot of political strength when we as a union continue to advocate for ourselves not only in D.C., but also locally in our bases. Nothing is more powerful than hearing stories directly from aviation first responders. As our advocacy continues, it’s important to focus on helping to reelect members of Congress who are pro-labor and support us as Flight Attendants.
As many of you noticed, members of Congress joined us on the picket line in several of our bases. Additionally, several have also written letters directly to our CEO in support of us getting the industry leading contract we deserve. That is why we need to vote for pro-labor candidates in our upcoming 2024 election.
