Negotiations Update May 14, 2013: Management Communications and Direct Dealing

May 14th, 2013 by

May 14, 2013     [Correction to yesterdays' communication: We incorrectly reported that ALPA has reached a tentative agreement (TA) with management. In fact it is still an “agreement in concept” (AIC) and will not be an actual TA until the ALPA Master Executive Council (MEC) receives a full-text proposal and votes to convert the AIC to a TA. Once that happens, there will be roadshows and the TA will be sent out for membership ratification. The fact of the matter is that ALPA very nearly has a TA, which does not substantially change our message. However, we have corrected the original negotiations update to reflect all the facts as we know them. You may read the revised version here: Read More >>
