2012-2016 Contract
The power of our Union is only as strong as the number of Members who can be mobilized to action.
Solidarity is based upon interdependence with each other. Although it appears we sometimes have different values and interests, ultimately our top priorities are common ground. We cannot be passive observers during Expedited Mediation; we must take collective action and compel others to join our actions.
When you participate, you have a stake in our Negotiations. It is your involvement that ultimately dictates our final outcome. It is not enough to take part in one picketing event, go to one meeting or respond to one survey. Our Negotiators need you ready to take action to demonstrate our support for them at a moment’s notice.
The entire purpose of these negotiations is to achieve meaningful improvements for United Flight Attendants – for You! There is only one Negotiating Committee at the table fighting for your priorities; one Negotiating Committee who listed Hourly Rates of Pay (Section 5.A) as one of their major issues. If you need a pay raise, stand behind the Negotiating Committee fighting for your interests at the table. We will not see the pay raise we want in a new Contract just by asking. Support your own interests and stand behind our AFA Negotiating Committee. Your involvement is key!
Taking action such as filling out this postcard, wearing your AFA pin and tying a gold ribbon on your suitcase are powerful ways you can demonstrate your commitment to your Flying Partners and management that we are dedicated to achieving Contract improvements in Expedited Mediation. Our power as a Union is in our numbers. Our Collective Action has a direct correlation to our future. Electronically sign this postcard, encourage your flying partners to participate as well.
Dear Mr. Smisek:
The biggest airline merger in history requires big changes, including improvements to our Contract. We are excited. Expedited Mediation allows us to move forward together. We’ve heard you say that the most important asset of our company is it’s people. Now is the time to recognize the value of the contributions Flight Attendants bring to the success of our company.
We stand behind our Negotiating Committee. They are negotiating for our priorities. Reaching an Agreement that I can support and vote for, moves us one step closer to completing the merger. The clock is ticking . . . let’s make these negotiations count.
Sincerely,
