October Negotiations Session Will Continue Despite Government Shutdown
Due to the Federal government shutdown, mediators from the National Mediation Board are unable to hold any mediation sessions during this period. Although the duration of the shutdown is uncertain, we wanted to confirm that our upcoming negotiations session, scheduled for October 29 - 31, will proceed without interruption.
Meeting with Management and NMB - Additional Dates Secured
On Monday, September 15, AFA and United management met with the Federal Mediator to discuss plans for resuming Contract negotiations.
Over the next several weeks, the Negotiating Committee, supported by AFA Legal and our Professional Negotiators, will review the survey data. Based on the survey results, which will include the essay responses provided by Members, we will identify a targeted set of issues and develop proposals in advance of our return to the bargaining table.
