Both the Red and Brown book contracts with District 141 & 142 and Hawaiian Airlines expires December 31, 2020. The contract provides to open talks early, no later than January 8, 2020, in an effort to have an agreement prior to the amendable date. The Committee strategized to improve wages, put better language in the contract, provide job security and to build solidarity in the bargaining unit.
“The week of training was very intense. Our instruction was very informative and gave us the opportunity to assemble and develop a detailed plan to secure the best contract possible,” said President, Directing General Chair Dave Supplee. “The Committee worked hard, and they leave the class better prepared to advance the needs of the Hawaiian Airlines members.” We are confident in securing the membership’s best interest at the table. This class was key to making that happen.
We will be exchanging contract openers with the company the week of January 6th, 2020 in Honolulu, HI. We strongly encourage all members to sign up for email updates by going to your respective District website – www.iam141.org or www.iamdl142.org.
