Negotiations Update #59
*Call to Action!*
Statement from the APFA Board of Directors
on Management’s Economic Offer

Click here for an immediate call to action! Send a letter to CEO Robert Isom telling him that “My Union Speaks for Me!”

Your APFA National Officers and Board of Directors released the following statement addressing management’s latest offer of a raise outside of a complete contract:

“Today, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom released a video detailing a company proposal to offer an immediate 17% pay increase on June 1, 2024, without reaching an agreement on a complete contract. This proposal was sent to APFA yesterday afternoon. Management was informed that we would discuss the offer with the APFA Board of Directors. 

American Airlines Flight Attendants want and need a complete contract addressing all our concerns. We have a strike vote authorization of 99.47 percent, have picketed for months, and have demonstrated our resolve and solidarity. Our message has been crystal clear: we need an industry-leading contract.

Per management’s request, the National Mediation Board has scheduled a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement next Monday through Thursday. Management should focus on reaching an agreement with APFA rather than concocting schemes to take the pressure off.

The APFA Board of Directors unanimously rejects management’s proposal and encourages, in the strongest way possible, the company to put all of its attention towards reaching an agreement with our Union and avoiding a crippling strike.”

In Solidarity,
