United Airlines Teamsters Meet in Las Vegas to Prepare for Bargaining

(LAS VEGAS) – Members of the United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee convened in Las Vegas to review contract proposals submitted by rank-and-file technicians during the past few weeks. Teamsters at the world’s third-largest airline submitted thousands of proposals on what they want in the new collective bargaining agreement.

 “The voices of rank-and-file technicians have been heard loud and clear, and now it’s time to secure the best contract possible at United Airlines,” said Chris Griswold, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division.

Members of the Teamsters negotiating committee diligently reviewed and consolidated all proposals as the union works to finalize and tackle workers’ biggest priorities. Initial bargaining will begin in August.

“The level of engagement we’ve seen in this contract campaign is unprecedented,” said Bob Fisher, Teamsters Airline Division Director-Below the Wing. “The Teamsters want all members at United Airlines connected to and participating in this campaign. Together we will make sure negotiations are transparent, aggressive, and ultimately successful for the entire membership.”

The committee will continue the process of reviewing more contract proposals next week.
