ExpressJet Flight Attendants |
| VOTE COUNT “Today’s victory is the result of an extraordinary campaign among Flight Attendants from both carriers,” said IAM General Vice President Robert Roach, Jr. “Flight Attendants carefully compared their options, and chose the only union with a proven track record of industry-leading contracts that provide the higher wages, job security and scheduling flexibility that Flight Attendants need.” “Flight Attendants today chose results over rhetoric," said Roach. “We are proud that the Flight Attendants at the new ExpressJet have chosen to be Machinists. Today is a day for celebration. Congratulations on being part of the largest, most successful airline union in the world." The IAM is notifying the carrier that we require access to Flight Attendants in all ASA bases and are prepared to immediately assume representation and contract enforcement for Atlantic Southeast Flight Attendants. The IAM has deployed representatives to each Atlantic Southeast base. The CWA-AFA will be reminded they are required to transfer all active grievances to the Machinists Union. Additionally, the IAM has already begun preparations to negotiate a single agreement covering both Flight Attendant groups. A bargaining priority survey is already underway, and Flight Attendants can participate immediately at the District 142 website, www.go142.org. Flight Attendants from both pre-merger groups will also be able to submit official contract proposals at that website. Flight Attendants who have questions or need to speak to an IAM Representative can call the IAM Flight Attendant hotline at 855-492-8755.
