United Airlines Teamsters Strongly Reject Company’s Insulting Counterproposal

After weeks of delays by United Airlines in responding to Teamsters’ contract proposals, the company presented an outrageous counterproposal to the committee on Wednesday. 

United’s scope of work proposal urges a dangerous policy of outsourcing heavy maintenance work to China and South America. United is now offering lower wage rates than in its last tentative agreement, which was overwhelmingly rejected by members. United’s latest proposal includes absurd provisions like demanding workers waive their sick leave rights protected by state law. 

At the table, the Teamsters told United that its current counterproposal is a joke. 

The union committee is discussing the next steps to address United’s blatant disrespect of its workforce. More details to come.
