Jul 23 - The United Master Executive Council unanimously adopted a Resolution for Beginning Direct Bargaining with United Airlines.

At our recent Summer 2021 Master Executive Council (MEC) meeting this past week, our MEC Negotiations Committee provided an update on our industry, our airline, and the efforts of the Committee over the past two years in preparing for Contract Bargaining. 

Based on the unique combination of these efforts with the financial recovery of our industry and, more specifically, United Airlines, an assessment was made by the leadership about moving forward to begin Section 6 negotiations.

The United Master Executive Council unanimously adopted a Resolution for Beginning Direct Bargaining with United Airlines.

In a letter to the Membership from Ken Diaz, our MEC President, Ken rallies the membership to understand the thought process behind this strategic move as well as the value of us collectively sending the message to United management that we are not only worthy of an industry leading Contract, we have earned it through our commitment to our airline. 

Now is our time to begin this process.

We encourage you to review the MEC President’s Letter and visit www.contract2021.org website for the special Negotiations Newsletter, yesterday.
