Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We write to update you on the recent meeting of your UAL IBT negotiating Committee, which took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 15, 2024. During this meeting, we were able to reach an Agreement in Principle (AIP) on a new extension to our JCBA. It is exceedingly rare to achieve an agreement prior to the amendable date under the RLA, and if ratified by you, this would become the first seamless contract we’ve seen at this company.
The AIP was achieved after a series of discussions and counterproposals, and it comes ten months prior to the amendable date of our current agreement.
Following this development, our legal and financial teams began immediately reviewing the AIP to finalize the terms agreed upon in this session. Once this process is complete, the committee will review the package to ensure its accuracy, at which point it will become a Tentative Agreement (TA). We will then share the details of the TA with you.
Preparations for electronic voting will also be taking place during this timeframe. Thank you for your patience and support as we work to finalize this extension.
In solidarity,
Your Negotiating Committee
