Bargaining between CWA-IBT & AA
for a New CBA Begins October 4
Bargaining between the CWA-IBT Association and American Airlines will kick off on October 4th, 5th, and 6th in Dallas.
In preparation for bargaining, our CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committees have been meeting throughout the summer. They went through an intense negotiations training in Dallas in June. And over the past several weeks, they've been analyzing members' responses to the bargaining survey. The bargaining proposals that they will bring to the table are based on the bargaining survey responses.

As front line workers during the
Covid-19 pandemic, we risked our own health and made tremendous sacrifices at work--even extending our contract expiration--to help the company weather the crisis. Now is the time to stand together for the improvements we need and deserve!
The first step toward winning a fair contract is to stay informed. Our Bargaining Committees will share regular, accurate updates via email. Share this message with co-workers who may not already be on our email list.
We will also post information on our Facebook page and at american-agents.org.
We urge you to avoid unauthorized social media sources that may spread inaccurate information and rumors. Get the correct information first-hand from your local union officers, stewards, and the above online sources.
Together, we will fight for and win a fair contract that reflects our hard work and sacrifices over the last two years!
In unity,
CWA-IBT Association Bargaining Committees
YOUR BARGAINING COMMITTEE INCLUDES:
American Airlines passenger service agents are represented by the CWA/IBT Passenger
Service Employee Association. Our collective bargaining agreement became amendable
on December 1, 2020. In anticipation of the bargaining process next year, the CWA
representatives to the joint bargaining committee were elected at the CWA Convention in
Las Vegas in July of 20. Learn about the members of the team below.

Airlines in 1982 and has worked at BOS, JFK, and TPA airports. He was elected to

since 2011. He lives north of Boston with his wife and daughter and is an avid
New England Patriots fan.
VICE PRESIDENT OF LOCAL 3140 -- TONY ABRAMS
