TWU-IAM Association To Open Bargaining with American Airlines

As previously announced, on December 3, 2015, the TWU-IAM Association will officially open negotiations with American Airlines and begin bargaining a joint contract for the 30,000 ground workers at the world’s largest airline. We understand that many of you are anxious to get to the table and we thank you for your patience. Your representatives have worked tirelessly and carefully to ensure that we enter into joint bargaining from a position of strength. We’re prepared and we’re ready to fight to secure the best possible contracts for Association members, including better wages, benefits, working conditions and retirement security.

The Association will communicate transparently with you throughout this process, and we will work together, as one united organization, to put the members’ needs first and to change the way the airline industry does business once and for all. 

To that end, we’d like you to know that we’ve put the best, strongest negotiating team in place to represent you. Below, you’ll find the names and locations for all of the bargaining team members, whose expertise and experience will be critical as we begin working through proposals with the company.
