Negotiations Result in First Ever Agreement Between
Parties
NetJets Aviation (NJA) Monday
announced it had reached a tentative agreement with its flight
attendants for the parties' first ever contract. The tentative
agreement, which calls for an increase in flight attendant salaries
and the payment of a bonus, the recognition of flight attendant
seniority, enhanced grievance and arbitration provisions, and a
comprehensive scope clause, was negotiated and endorsed by the
leadership of the flight attendants' union (International
Brotherhood of Teamsters through the Airline Division, Local
284).
The agreement, which was reached on September 15, 2005, will
cover around 140 NetJets Aviation flight attendants.
NetJets Aviation President Bill
Boisture said, "NetJets is proud of the dedication and hard work of
its flight attendants and we believe this contract is fair and will
help NetJets retain its position as market leader. This tentative
agreement shows our commitment to increasing flight attendant
salaries, enhancing their benefit program and improving job
security and career opportunities."
"We are delighted to have reached this tentative agreement with
our flight attendants and are confident that this contract will be
accepted by the membership."
NetJets Aviation understands that the union will provide the
flight attendants with extensive information about the new
contract. It is anticipated that the union will hold a series of
informational meetings to explain and discuss the contract with the
flight attendants prior to a vote on ratification, which is
expected to take place in the coming weeks.
