Set For Three Locations On Monday, Sept. 22

The NetJets Unions Coalition is organizing Informational picketing by unionized NetJets employees – all of whom are currently engaged in collective bargaining negotiations with NetJets – in three locations on Monday, September 22.

The pickets will be established at NetJets Corporate Offices, 4111 Bridgeway Ave., Columbus, OH; Landmark Aviation, 101 Charles A. Lindbergh Dr., Teterboro, NJ; and KSNA Signature Flight Support, 19301 Campus Dr, Santa Ana, CA. The pickets will be active in each location from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time for each site.

The NetJets Unions Coalition is an alliance comprised of the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP), the collective bargaining agent for the 3,000-plus pilots who fly in the service of NetJets, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 284, which represents approximately 500 NetJets dispatchers, flight attendants, maintenance controllers, mechanics and stock clerks.

The coalition says that senior management at NetJets is engaged in collective bargaining negotiations with each of its unionized employee groups and progress has been painstakingly slow due to management's unjustifiable demands for concessions.

The also hold that, despite record profitability, NetJets continues to demand major concessions – diminished wages, benefits and work rules – from the hard working men and women who directly contributed to its stellar financial performance.

A third grievance is that while demanding contract concessions from unionized employees, profit-sharing checks are being handed out to all levels of management and non-union employees.

The flight attendants have been in contract talks for more than three years and, earlier this year, entered government-supervised mediation to settle the dispute.

NetJets is a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary.
