Brothers and Sisters,
The company invited Joe Ferreira, Bob Fisher, Angel Cantu, and I to a meeting in Houston on Wednesday the 24th. At that meeting, the company informed us that they were interested in another extension. We told them the rank-and-file committee would evaluate any offer they might propose. We also relayed that Southwest was the industry leader for wages, and we would need to beat them in any extension offer.
Job protection and progression compression were discussed as well. Both sides determined to discuss further with the full committees in the near future.
Nothing was agreed to in this meeting. Look for further updates to follow shortly as we secure dates.
In solidarity,
Vinny Graziano
