The United Airlines Teamsters National Negotiating Committee has set additional dates for bargaining – Sept. 16-17, Sept. 24-26, Oct. 7-9, Oct. 22-24, Nov. 5-7, Nov. 12-14, and Dec. 3-5. Bargaining locations will rotate between Chicago, Denver, Houston, and San Francisco.

(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.

Many members were questioning the use of the actual average hours for the group in the assumption charts. These members were asking for a straight time only version of the assumptions. I asked our economist to redo the deck showing only straight time hours at 2080 per year. The new deck is posted at https://teamster.org/united-airline-comps/ for your review.

As you all know by now, your rank-and-file committee has accepted the Agreement in Principle which now turns the AIP into a Tentative Agreement (TA) and is ready for ratification by the membership. 

Now it is to you to make a choice. The TA is economically focused and includes a couple of minor, economically speaking, language changes. We urge you to look at all the information and consider the outcome carefully prior to deciding. As with every negotiation, this proposal will satisfy the expectations of some, while falling short for others. Ultimately, the decision is yours whether to ratify this offer or not, and we will stand by your choice. 

Your United Airlines Mechanics and Related Rank-and-File Negotiating Committee recently met at Teamsters Local 19 in Houston to go over the agreement in principle (AIP), with the hope of converting the AIP into a tentative agreement (TA). 

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.

Your IBT committee met in Covina at Local 986. Our focus during this meeting was to continue preparing for our upcoming face-to-face negotiations with the Company.

This is to serve as notice, pursuant to Article 24 of the parties’ extant Collective Bargaining Agreement (hereinafter “CBA”), and in accordance with Section 6, Title 1 of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, of the Union’s intent to commence negotiations between the parties for the purposes of amending the CBA for the Technicians and Related.
