IBT/UAL reach a Tentative Agreement
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Airline Division has been listening to your concerns regarding the economic situation. It is obvious that our members must attain immediate financial relief and we have been working towards that goal for several months. Operationally, since United Next was announced some time ago, Teamster leadership across the system has relayed its concern to the company that pay rates were too low to attract and retain qualified technicians. Once the reset numbers were revealed, we pressed further for a plan moving forward that would bring some economic relief to our members. As a result of this effort, the company has proposed a short-term extension to the rank-and-file committee. The committee voted to accept the terms, and this is now a Tentative Agreement (TA).
The next step is to present the full TA to the membership for your consideration and ratification vote. If the Proposed TA passes, the added provisions and increase in pay will become part of the current agreement. If the TA does not pass, we will continue the traditional bargaining and continue with our current language and pay rates.
While all details will be fully released very soon, I can announce that we secured for you immediate and significant pay increases with a return to full language discussions as early as January 2024. Every member will benefit from this proposed TA. We will work as quickly as possible to get this out for ratification.
Further information will be available later today.
In solidarity,
Vinny Graziano
International Representative
Teamsters Airline Division
