Southwest Airlines to Begin Mediation With Flight Attendants on Contract Negotiations


DALLAS (AP) -- Southwest Airlines and representatives of a flight attendants' union are scheduled to begin a new round of contract negotiations with a federal mediator on Thursday.

The union said it was the first time in Southwest's 32-year history that talks with flight attendants had gone to federal mediation.

The two sides held more than 16 months of negotiations but remained apart on pay, retirement benefits and other issues. According to the Transport Workers Union, the starting wage for a new flight attendant is $14,000, and the median pay is $24,600.

One sticking point is cleanup work. Flight attendants say they are forced to work for free by cleaning planes between flights and that the duty adds up to 300 hours per year. The airline says the work is part of the job for which the employees are paid.

The company said last month that the talks were at an impasse, and it asked the National Mediation Board to step in.

In trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Southwest shares were down 10 cents to close at $18.60.

Why is "without further ratification" a tear down when it somes to the F/A's?

Yet, when the TWU did it to the mechanics, you saved us all from ourselves?

Those TWU represented F/A's at Southwest have to live with the same Dictators and Commie Constitution that we have, correct? Remember the Judges ruling in New York? They can do that brother.

Well, that is pretty much what AA did to get what they wanted, isn't it?

 

[JS]

Why is this in the AA forum?

 

[Buck]

Because the issues are related by the union that represents each group.

That is like asking why do non-aa'ers post here?

Ya see JS...it's like this...Davey runs his little search engines daily in hopes of finding ways to twist others misgivings into propaganda to promote his stand alone association...it makes him feel vunderbar..hahahahahaha..and seeings how this isn't a closed forum Bucko I'd think anyone can post...with your permission of course oh wise one..hahahahahahaha

Ya see JS..they voted to accept concessions and save their jobs..they just won't admit it...instead they throw the blame onto the TWU...must be their fault..can't be the membership's vote that brought the concessions into fact, and any chance of making it look like the TWU's gameplan they run with it...foolish boyzzzzzzzz. And by all means..NEVER blame the company..that would show amfa weakness...it's a hard call to say wether the company was bluffing or not about bk...Drippy knows they can hide $$$$, but the fact is JS...it was voted on, passed, and then the crying began.....whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

and look again at Davey's fears....Dictators and Commie Constitution ...he's a headhunter...hahahahahahahaha

Fair enough.

Because they like taking potshots from you people? Seriously, though, the forum name is "American Airlines", not "American Airlines employees ONLY".

3000 Members didn't get to vote

I never stated anywhere that anyone was restricted from posting here. Only the moderator can make that decision.

 

[Drippy Quill]

JS..they is all innocent of any and all charges presented before the amfa group, a.k.a. amfag, and nevah evah will ya think of swaying their opinions...oh yeah..please don't axe for Booby's opinion...don't have that much time to read the poo, and you'll send Davey out of his welders stall looking to see what he can cut and paste to make his limited knowledge swell in his feeble mind..hahahahahahaha

Fact is they probably voted for the concessions them own selves..hahahahahaha ..and they have proven they would vote your rights away to save their sorry butts. They are bottomfeeding dweebs that rely on the TWU to blame for their ineptness and lack of responsibility.

Fact is I am their only salvation, only Drippy can shed them of their fears and lead them into the promiseland. Now Davey...bend and kiss the ring of Drippy, it's ok Davey..I won't tell..hahahahahahahahaha

Wasn't there a small problem with having to deal with a judge? Why don't you work at running for union position? I know it will take some fence mending. If Dennis Burchette could do it maybe you can too. You have been spouting, proposals?, long enough.

Then the next time stand in NYC, facing a BK judge and see who blinks first. But maybe you feel that the AA employees should have run right up to , and over the edge rather than protect what there is and try again in the future.

NWA is apparently in the proccess of tearing down hangars and facilities, their jobs are gone for GOOD AND FOREVER. The only clean out I have noticed is the old DC10 and 727 equipment.

Forgot to add, about 500,000 American's vote did not count in 2000 either, but hey as the Supremes said, they can do that.

Cheers!

Everyone knows that the vote was a joke and it was most likely rigged.

Did you call your lawyer?

Where is your proof that the vote was rigged?

Who is "everyone"?
