For Members

Your CWA Bargaining Committee met with the Piedmont Bargaining committee in November. The Union and the Company exchanged the following articles:  

Article 4 Filling of Vacancies 

Article 6 Hours of Service 

Article 8 Overtime 

Article 9 Training 

Article 10 Uniforms 

Article 11 Holidays 

Article 12 Vacations 

Article 13 Compensation 

Article 17 Benefits 

Article 18 Safety and Health

The Company and the Union bargained over the articles above and did come to an agreement on uniforms, which is an improvement from the current contract. This morning, American Airlines announced its third quarter financial results, reporting $271 million in pre- tax profit driven by a record third quarter revenue of $13.6 billion.  Piedmont came to the bargaining table with an offer of a 16 cent wage increase above their last offer. We need to show Piedmont that we need safe work rules, decent health care, and a livable wage.

We are members of the CWA International, a union of 750,000 other workers of which there are over 100,000 airline employees. We are proud to say that we have a voice in the workplace, and we are all covered by a contract that improves working conditions, creates fairness and increases wages.
