As you know the Company announced the closing of the ERJ DEN base today. Please be advised that your rights under the contract will be protected throughout this process.
We have an outstanding grievance regarding the Company not providing positive space travel that is outlined in the contract and should be provided to displaced flight attendants. This grievance has been appealed to arbitration and we have been actively seeking a resolution with the Company. I believe we are close to a settlement at this time; however, there are still some issues that need to be addressed, so it is not yet finalized.
Please review Sections 11 and 12 of the contract to review the process for base closures, displacements, and vacancy awards. If you have any questions please contact Emilie Shewmaker at or (773) 459-4069.
Fraternally yours,
Sara Gonzales
