United Airlines Teamsters Conclude Eleventh Round of Bargaining in San Francisco

The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee concluded the eleventh round of bargaining in San Francisco on Thursday. After submitting the initial economic and scope of work proposals to the company on Wednesday, the committee used Thursday’s bargaining session to strategize for the next round of negotiations in February.

Following a presentation from Teamsters Industrial Hygienist Frances Mensah regarding language in the current contract, the committee began formulating the union’s upcoming safety proposal to United. The committee also received word from the company that it would not have a response to the union’s economic and scope of work proposals during this round of bargaining, but we are expecting a counter from United during the next bargaining session.

“The committee did a fantastic job this week of staying unified and advocating for our proposals,” said Clacy Griswold, Chairman of the United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee. “Now that our initial scope and economic proposals are submitted, the ball is in United’s court. The committee hopes to build on this week’s progress when we meet again with the company next month.”

“We had a very productive week of bargaining in San Francisco,” said Ron Forziati, a technician from Local 25 and a member of the negotiating committee. “The committee is ready to move the process forward and win the contract we deserve as soon as possible. The company has a lot to answer for when we meet for negotiations next month.”

The next round of bargaining will begin February 11 in Minneapolis.
