December 13, 2018 System-Wide Day of Action

On December 13th we will stand together in a System-wide Day of Action objecting to management’s decision to succumb to the pressures of Wall Street rather than addressing the needs of the traveling public and providing the proper staffing on the aircraft to ensure Flight Attendants are able to meet the expectations of those who really matter – our passengers!

We all want United Airlines to succeed and we all want to take pride in a job well done. The new cuts to staffing and service in a time of massive profits is the last straw, but the reality is that management is failing to deliver on several fronts. The continuing glitches, contract provisions that haven’t been implemented because of automation limitations are nothing less than unacceptable. The contract is clear and in every case it’s up to management to keep their end of the bargain.

We will stand together on December 13th to demand change:

Stop planned staffing and service cuts. Instead, increase staffing across the system. (Dependable, Safe, Caring, Efficient)
Fix payroll issues and resolve any discrepancies expeditiously. (Caring, Dependable, Efficient)
Ensure Flight Attendants have access to hotels in the event of severe weather and irregular operations. We’re an airline, we should start planning for irregularities so crews can be rested and ready when the airline recovers. (Safe, Caring, Dependable)
Ensure crew scheduling is contactable, and if not Flight Attendants self-release. (Caring, Dependable, Efficient)
Elimination of Continuous Overnight Duty Pairings, and multi-day all-night flying. (Safe, Caring, Efficient)
Stop elimination of and re-establish cross aisles on the 76A & upcoming 76L. (Safe, Caring, Efficient)
Relocate Flight Attendant crew rest seats on the 76A & upcoming 76L. (Safe, Caring, Efficient)
Eliminate Positive Check-In Now. (Safe, Efficient)
Eliminate trade restrictions and fix excess Reserve coverage requirements that make trading nearly impossible. (Caring, Dependable, Efficient)
Make training requirements for events to which we are “invited” clear. (Dependable, Efficient)

Enhancements to Worldwide travel benefits (Dependable, Caring, Efficient)
