Dear Sisters and Brothers:
Your District 142 Joint Alaska-Hawaiian negotiating team continued Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) negotiations with the Company this week at the Alaska Airlines Flight Operations building in Seattle. Your committee exchanged proposals with the Company and discussed the following articles:
Classifications– The Union and Company exchanged proposals, but no tentative agreement has been reached yet.
Scope– The Union passed a proposal to protect the existing HA job security language and expand it. The company did not officially respond this session, but we anticipate receiving their response next session. Based on the feedback we’ve received from the membership, your team considers this the single most important issue we face in this round of negotiations. We cannot and will not bring back a deal that doesn’t include comprehensive scope language to protect our work.
Our next session with the company is scheduled for the week of August 3rd at District 142 Headquarters in Phoenix.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your negotiating committee. Please ensure you receive accurate information by signing up for District 142 updates on the website at www.atd142.org and by speaking directly with your negotiating team. These are the only official sources of information. Thank you for your continued support and solidarity.
Sincerely and fraternally,
| John M. Coveny, Jr. President/Directing General Chair | Jesse Wilson General Chair | David Figueira General Chair |
