Did you have the same language as the IAM that specified the Medical rates paid would be equal by percentage to what they are currently paying?

I wasn’t talking about the excise Tax language. What I was talking about was language specifying your Medical rates.

I don’t recall CWA having much ammunition to put up any fight against your rates being raised to match what LAA was paying during your Negotiations?

Now I could be wrong because this is all just off the top of my head from only briefly reading here and there some of your language at the time which is a bit back now and I’m not LUS.

I think I do pretty good frankly for an LAA guy and Yakee don’t you think?

I still think they were supposed to look for an alternate to the AA plan.Of course it is what i was told and did not read in an agreement

I prefer to read and try to understand the language myself. And as you know I even read others Contract language.

Don't,feel bad last November Wed before Thanksgiving we had to ground 32 737s, so we could retrace repairs that were made. These aircraft were brought from overseas. The Feds did that to prove a point to us.

The CWA/IBT LUS Passengers Service Agents had the lower cost and better medical (“IAM medical”) in their CBA until the new agreement was voted in December 1,2015

Their was assures that a new better medical would be negotiated. The lead negotiators that made these statements have since left the union. The medical plan that the CWA/IBT PSA now have was never bargain or negotiated at the table. Lost all leverage and NO new medical plan never happen.

CWA/IBT had good leverage

Labor unrest and a labor dispute with two powerful large unions in section 6 negotiations that represents the group that deals directly with Passengers at the ticket counters, gates, baggage service, reservation call centers at the largest airline in the world. All while the companies try to get a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation

Passenger System cutover had to be done with cross utilization of agents without this the merger could not be done and a union agreement had to be reached moreover CWA/IBT was the only union on the property to be in section 6 direct negotiations under the RLA unlike the rest of the employees groups were/are in joint contract negotiations

Administration and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) along with six States and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit seeking to block the US Airways-American Airlines merger. The lawsuit claimed that the merger will increase fares, reduce competition and result in service cuts hurting the public.

You better believe the companies wanted CWA/IBT onboard
