Teamsters Blast United for Breaking Promise to Deliver Updated Scope Proposal
United Airlines is once again dragging its feet at the bargaining table. Yesterday, the committee demanded that the company follow through on its commitment to deliver a new scope proposal this week — a promise management made weeks ago. But for the third consecutive day of bargaining, United showed up empty-handed.
During Tuesday’s session, the committee presented United with an ultimatum: give us a new scope proposal or risk negotiations reaching a standstill.
United’s claim that it is waiting on a counter economic proposal from the committee is misleading. Following the rejection of the last proposal, the committee agreed that we would not counter economics until a new scope proposal was provided by the company. Despite commitments from the company to have such a proposal ready this week, United came to bargaining empty handed for the second straight day.
