Introducing Our AFA Alaska Joint Negotiating Committee and Seniority Merger Integration Committee Members
Originally posted November 15, 2024
This week, our Master Executive Council (MEC) conducted interviews for two positions on the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) and two positions on the Senior Merger Integration Committee (SMIC). We’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the candidates who participated in the interviews and demonstrated their commitment to serving our Flight Attendants. After careful consideration, we are pleased to announce the election of Virginia Fritz and Heather Reier to the JNC positions, as well as Marie Maxwell and Camile Caldwell to the SMIC positions. All will serve as the pre-merger Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant representatives on their respective committees in the upcoming merger.

TA2 Mediation Session 1
Originally posted November 22, 2024
This week was our first TA2 Mediation Session with management and the mediator assigned by the National Mediation Board. We presented our initial TA2 Proposal addressing targeted issues from TA1, based on the TA2 Survey and guidance from the MEC. The mediator directed the parties not to publish Opening Proposals or specific details. We discussed the proposal and made progress on several provisions. The next scheduled session is December 17-19.
