US Airways and the International Association of Machinists to Begin Facilitated Negotiations for Final Transition Agreements
Friday July 27, 2:00 pm ET


TEMPE, Ariz., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US Airways (NYSE: LCC - News) and the International Association of Machinists (IAM) announced today that they would begin National Mediation Board (NMB)-facilitated talks next week for final transition agreements covering more than 10,000 fleet service employees and mechanics at US Airways.

"Both the IAM and the company have worked very hard, and are vitally interested in reaching final transition agreements that make sense for our fleet service employees, our mechanics and the company," said Scott Kirby, US Airways' president. "We're pleased to join together with the IAM to move this process along amicably and with the help of an independent third party."

The airline and the IAM jointly approached the NMB earlier this week. The Board assigned senior mediator Linda Puchala, who will work with the company and the union on separate agreements covering fleet service employees and the company's mechanics.

The first of the facilitated sessions is set for next Wednesday in Washington, DC.

In facilitated talks, the NMB assigns a Board mediator who works with both parties in an advisory role, helping the parties find common areas of agreement and reach solutions. The facilitator does not work in an official capacity with the NMB, and his or her decisions are not binding on either party. Nor are these the more formal "Section 6" proceedings, which can lead under NMB procedures to a cooling-off period or self-help. This is a voluntary mediation process, outside of Section 6, aimed at reaching fleet service and mechanics' agreements at the table.

IAM represents almost 11,000 employees in two districts at US Airways. District 141 represents about 7,700 fleet service employees at both pre-merger US Airways and pre-merger America West. District 142 represents about 2,900 mechanics at the airlines.

Both groups of employees have been working under the terms of their existing labor agreements as IAM and the company continue negotiations for final transition agreements.

ok so what happens if no agreement is reached? There is no cooling off period this makes no sense what is the point where is the heat going to come from? The only way I see heat on the company is if the west gets a seperae contract negotiated in section 6.
