Our current agreement becomes amendable Dec of 2022
Wage review includes wages, vacation, holidays, sick days/pay, profit sharing, 401k and pension. (might be 1 or 2 smaller items but those are the biggest)
Theres currently a slow rolling drive for a new union called ALTA, same idea as AMFA but with an AFL/CIO affiliation, and structured internally like ALPA. The trigger at this point seems to be resting on a federal court case several UAL mechanics have brought against the teamsters - if the mechanics win the ibt more than likely will be tossed quickly, if they lose ... who knows.
The court case centers around 3 components - Pension language of sUAL MX prior to the JCBA with sCAL MX - Profitsharing of sUAL MX that was diluted to give money to sCAL MX that were not contractually entitled to it, thus lowering sUAL mechanics PS pay outs over 6 years.- DFR against the ibt for ignoring and possibly illegal termination of grievances over these issues that have already been shown to have been filed in a timely manner by multiple mechanics.
top out currently is 48.75 for a topped out/2 lic/full longevity line mechanic
off shifts can add a few pennies for swings or graves, and there is a taxi/run premium added on a case by case basis
Question for you - what will SWA be at at the end of 2022?
