United Airlines came to the table last week and showed nothing but contempt for our union. The company apparently has no intention of reaching a fair deal that reflects the value of our hard work. United management is embarrassed and frustrated because we refuse to back down from our position for a strong contract.

United needs a reality check. On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, United Airlines presented the Committee with its economic proposal and a term sheet proposal regarding other open items. United’s proposal was intended to be the equivalent of a hot poker in the eyes of the membership.

After weeks of delays by United Airlines in responding to Teamsters’ contract proposals, the company presented an outrageous counterproposal to the committee on Wednesday. 

United’s scope of work proposal urges a dangerous policy of outsourcing heavy maintenance work to China and South America. United is now offering lower wage rates than in its last tentative agreement, which was overwhelmingly rejected by members. United’s latest proposal includes absurd provisions like demanding workers waive their sick leave rights protected by state law.
