APFA Reaches Deal with American Airlines

Flight Attendants On Track To Avoid Strike

All that strike prep may end up going to waste, now that the Association of Professional Flight Attendants has reached a tentative contract agreement in the final week of bargaining.

The new agreement will be presented to the APFA Board of Directors and Executive Committee for review and a vote, but those in the know seem to feel it has a good chance of passing muster from the membership.

"Our latest contract negotiations have resulted in significant benefits for our Flight Attendants," said APFA National President Julie Hedrick. "After years of bargaining and with the assistance of the National Mediation Board, we have reached a long overdue agreement with American Airlines, which addresses our concerns in compensation, work rules, and retroactive pay. If approved, this agreement will put billions of additional dollars into compensation and work rules for our Flight Attendant workgroup."

“APFA would like to thank the 28,000 Flight Attendants whose participation in this process achieved this tentative agreement,” Hedrick added. “Endless picketing events, engagement with the media and the traveling public, and a solid 99.47% ‘yes’ strike vote authorization pushed this management team to a tentative contract that rightfully addresses our scheduling and economic needs. Strikes and the threat of strikes work. We look forward to presenting the tentative agreement to the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Pending their approval, the 28,000 members of APFA will have the final vote on ratifying this agreement."
