Proposed Contract for United Airlines Mechanics and Related Rejected

MEMORANDUM
TO: All Local Unions with Members Employed as Mechanics and Related at
United Airlines
FROM: Captain David Bourne, Director, Teamsters Airline Division
DATE: June 2, 2011

Proposed Contract for United Airlines Mechanics and Related Rejected
The mechanics and related working at United Airlines have rejected the tentative agreement reached earlier this spring with the company. More than 87 percent of the members voted in the secret ballot vote. The members have directed us to return to the bargaining table with the company. We will discuss the vote results with the local leadership shortly and will indeed return to the negotiating table to attempt to secure even greater improvements than what were contained in this tentative agreement. We anticipate getting back to the table within the next several weeks.
