UPDATES

United Airlines continues to stall negotiations, refusing to present an updated proposal on scope and economics. Despite having weeks to prepare for bargaining, United is now claiming it is unprepared to discuss critical issues until the next bargaining session in Denver later this month. 

After United Airlines technicians rejected the company’s most recent proposal by 99.5 percent, the United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee resumed bargaining Tuesday with a clear demand: stop outsourcing critical maintenance work overseas. 

The following is a statement from Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien and Teamsters Airline Division Director Chris Griswold on United Airlines Teamsters’ overwhelming rejection of the carrier’s latest disgraceful economic proposal. 99.5 percent of Teamsters voted to reject this greedy carrier’s attempts to cut their wages and send their work to communist China.
