        Negotiations Update April 16, 2014: Update Email/Phone Info, Upcoming Survey, Committee Interviews, etc….

        April 16, 2014 11:35

        Dear Flight Attendants,

         

        The current Negotiating Committee just finished reviewing the draft professional survey prepared by Hart Research Associates. We are very pleased with the results. The professional survey is expected to be live beginning next week. The survey will have two phases: initial interviews will be conducted by phone for a limited number of Flight Attendants and then followed by an online survey for the remainder of our group. An estimated timeline for negotiations-related events in April and May is below.

         

        All Members in Good Standing (those who are dues current) for which we have an updated phone number will have the possibility of participating in the phone interview starting next week. It is critical that you update your phone number (and confirm your email address) before the survey begins. Only Flight Attendants for which we have an updated phone number will be eligible to participate in the limited phone interviews.

         

        The Master Executive Council (MEC) has made it extremely easy to update your information. Please be assured your contact information will be kept confidential by AFA and Hart Research Associates. Your email address and/or phone number will absolutely not be shared with Alaska Airlines management or other third parties.

         

        Simply click the following link to update our database:

         

        AFA Alaska Negotiations Email/Phone Update Form.

         

        If you already receive email from the MEC, we have your email address on file. All Members in Good Standing for which we have an updated personal email address will have the opportunity to participate in the online interview. (Important: alaskaair.com addresses will not be accepted.)

         

        Help AFA get out the word by passing along the information to your fellow Flight Attendants in person and on social media. The above link is also posted in the “Important Links” on alaskamec.org.
