Bargaining Report

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.

Bargaining Report
Our CWA bargaining committee met with the Envoy bargaining committee on August 21-22. Our team passed a compensation proposal on the 21st, which we felt was a very reasonable proposal that companies as profitable as Envoy and American Airlines can certainly afford. We also discussed outstanding items including scope and the new work at MIA for wheelchair attendants. On the 22nd, the company gave us a compensation proposal, which was not much different from their previous proposal. They showed us a graph, which they argue shows their proposal is an industry leading proposal.

Bargaining Report

Our CWA-Envoy bargaining committee met with the Envoy committee May 30-31. The company made a counter proposal on Wages, which contained a modest increase. We offered counter proposals on Benefits; General; and Training, Travel Pay, and Expenses. We had intense discussions on all these issues as well as Vacations and Overtime. We are now working on a counter proposal on Wages because the company’s latest proposal is not good enough. We reached agreement on General, which includes language on parking, costs associated with badges, and viewing your personal records.
