AMERICAN EAGLE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
POISED TO STRIKE
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX – American Eagle flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, overwhelmingly voted to engage in CHAOS™ strike-related activities should current negotiations with the company continue to deteriorate and the National Mediation Board (NMB) declares an impasse.
“Our negotiating team has worked hard to get this far and now our membership wants to finalize a deal,†said Reggie Salas, American Eagle Master Executive Council President. “We have let management know that we are willing to do whatever it takes to get a fair contract.
The most recent round of negotiations ended without an agreement. Negotiations have been scheduled to resume on August 2, 2005.
CHAOS, or Create Havoc Around Our System™, is AFA’s trademarked strategy of public information and targeted work actions using random, unannounced strikes. Strikes or any other kind of job action cannot begin until the NMB has released both sides into a “cooling off†period and supermediation has proven unsuccessful.
75 Years of Safety & Service: 60 Years of Unity
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the flight attendant profession and the 60th anniversary of the Association of Flight Attendants. More than 46,000 flight attendants, join together to form AFA-CWA, the world’s largest flight attendant union. AFA is part of the 700,000-member strong Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO.
