CWA has received the results of the Envoy Passenger Service Agents' January 2019 Tentative Agreement vote from BallotPoint, the independent company conducting the ratification election. Passenger service agents have voted against ratification of the tentative contract agreement between the Communications Workers of America and Envoy Airlines. CWA has notified the company of the results. We will be distributing a survey to members soon to help guide our next steps toward bargaining a new agreement.

Our CWA bargaining committee met with the Envoy bargaining committee on November 5-6. We received a counter offer on Compensation, which we discussed at length. Envoy did increase the wage proposal for DFW slightly.

Envoy responded to our proposals on Vacation and Overtime. We made counter proposals on Vacation, Overtime, and Customer Assistance Representatives in Miami. Although we made progress in each proposal, we could not agree on some of the items in the articles.

CWA passed proposals on Scope and Classifications, which contained protections for our members. We also passed a proposal regarding the drug policy. We had intensive discussions on the drug policy, including how testing is determined and the testing procedure. On September 6, we presented a Compensation and Vacation proposal, which we tied together. Envoy provided CWA with a proposal for Wheelchair and Associated Work and discussions followed. Our fight is still about livable wages. Our bargaining committee is committed to fight one day longer to bring back a contract that meets our needs.

This week, our CWA-Envoy bargaining team were back at the bargaining table with the company fighting for the fair contract we all deserve.
