On Wednesday, December 7, United Pilots, represented by ALPA hosted an informational picketing event during the United Airlines Board of Directors Meeting in Downtown Houston. United AFA Flight Attendants were among the 300 Union Members from ALPA, the IAM, and others that came out to participate in the informational picketing event.
The United ALPA MEC spokesperson summed it up nicely by stating, “We appreciate United CEO Scott Kirby visiting our picket. United did not respond to our previous offer, so we pulled that off the table to examine what our competitors have done. If you want to talk now, you can do so at the bargaining table with something better than what was offered elsewhere. And, Mr. Kirby, you can’t lead from the back. We’re still tired of waiting.”
Yesterday, the Unions at United Airlines announced the Union Coalition will coordinate negotiating and other issues. When we support each other, all of us are stronger and we raise the bar for everyone.
All in, We Win! Show management that Labor supports Labor at United Airlines!
