UPDATES

As you all know, the Teamsters Airline Division and your negotiating committee are meeting with United Airlines this week to continue talking through the company’s offer and to finalize tentative agreements prior to releasing their final offer.

Our intention was to share more information once these meetings have concluded, so we could provide the most accurate and up-to-date information. Clearly, the company had other ideas.

Would you like to learn more about how a collective bargaining agreement at United Airlines is developed and negotiated?

The Airline Division, in collaboration with the Teamsters Education Department, are pleased to announce we will be holding more Railway Labor Act (RLA) collective bargaining training sessions to educate members on how their contracts are negotiated under the RLA. The training sessions will be held on July 27, 29, and 31. Each day, sessions will be held at 6 a.m. CDT, 10 a.m. CDT, and 6 p.m. CDT. Each session will be an hour long. On the day and time of your preferred session, you will be able to access the training using this link.

The Teamsters National Negotiating Committee for United Airlines met last month to follow up on some points of the company’s last, best, and final proposal.

The committee identified some language items that must be clarified by the company. Additionally, the committee identified an issue with the company’s bonus proposal contingent on ratification. For these reasons, the committee will return to the table for one last round of bargaining.
