American Airlines Bargaining Update - September 24, 2015

In a crucial week in the negotiations, the CWA bargaining team in Dallas is exchanging proposals on important articles in the contract, including wages, scope and classification and health care, among others.

Meanwhile, reservations and home-based agents are mobilizing. Just this week, they launched a petition educating the public about their fight for good jobs and quality service at American Airlines. 

The agents have been wearing buttons and carrying home-made signs with10/17/15, the date that the American Airlines-US Airways merger becomes final. Last week, agents at all American call centers — Winston/Salem and Raleigh/Durham in North Carolina and Dallas, TX — along with home-based agents in Dallas/Forth Wort, Raleigh/Durham, Hartford, Conn., Miami and Norfolk, Va., stood up every two hours and held up signs with messages like “We Support Our Bargaining Team” and “We Need an Industry-Leading Contract.”
