The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee concluded the tenth round of bargaining with the airline on Thursday. During Thursday’s session, the committee presented its proposals on Letter of Agreement #24 and Article 13. The committee expects a response from United during next week’s bargaining session. United informed the committee that a counteroffer on the initial economic proposals will be offered next week as well.

The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee has resumed bargaining with the airline this week, kicking off the tenth round of negotiations and first for 2025 in Newark, New Jersey. 

After reaching tentative agreements on an overwhelming majority of noneconomic proposals in previous sessions, the committee is now focused on winning a full tentative agreement from United on the economic articles. During Tuesday’s session, the committee voted to advance the union’s initial economic proposals, including substantial pay increases and lower health care costs, to the company for discussion this week. 

The Tech Ops Safety Action Program (TSAP) is a Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Aviation Administration, United Airlines, and the Teamsters. The primary purpose of the program is to identify safety events and to implement corrective measures that reduce circumstances where safety could be compromised. The program is intended to foster a voluntary, cooperative, non-punitive environment for United technicians who want to report safety concerns. Through such open reporting, all parties have access to valuable safety information that may not otherwise be obtainable.
