Alaska & Hawaiian MECs Meeting
Originally posted May 1, 2024
On April 26, our AFA International President convened a virtual meeting with the Alaska and Hawaiian Master Executive Councils (MECs). The group met to review progress on the demands set by the MECs’ previous unanimously adopted resolution. While there has been progress, the first demand — an industry-leading AFA Alaska contract — has not been met. The group passed a resolution extending the deadline for determining our support, opposition, or neutrality to the merger. The Alaska and Hawaiian MECs will reconvene the week of May 20th to evaluate conditions and review management’s action/inaction to review our position.
Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

May 1st marks the first day of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in the United States.

Read more about Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, learn about the accomplishments of Asian and Pacific Islander Americans, and find out about events that you can take part in using the resource links below. Join the celebration by wearing an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month AFA Pin during the month of May. If you need a pin, check with your Local Council for more information.

Additional Negotiations Dates
Our Negotiating Committee is committed to reaching a Tentative Agreement as soon as possible. We were able to secure additional negotiation sessions with management in the coming months. Although the mediator will not be present, we hope to continue making progress toward the contract we have earned. Currently, we have added sessions and preparation work in May, June, July, and August.
