Jim Keenan
Senior Vice President
United Technical Operations
I’m pleased to share the news that after many months of productive discussions, United and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters have reached a Tentative Agreement on a labor contract that, if ratified, would apply to aircraft maintenance technicians and related employees at subsidiary United Airlines in the U.S.
As I said last November when subsidiary Continental technicians ratified their tentative agreement, we are committed to reaching fair and mutually beneficial agreements with all of our unions. I believe this agreement demonstrates that commitment.
Just as important, it is a significant milestone in the integration process. By laying a solid foundation for working together as we integrate our operations, we have a viable model for bringing technicians from both subsidiaries together under a joint contract.
Teamsters leadership will communicate the details of the contract with members in the coming days and weeks, which will then be followed by a ratification vote.
Sorry guys nothing yet on the details. As soon as I get something I will post it.
Jock
