IAM and Southwest Airlines Negotiation Update

Sisters and Brothers,

As we continue to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the Union and the Company were recently introduced to our third National Mediation Board mediator, Gerry McGuckin. Mediator McGuckin has been assigned due to the retirement of the prior mediator, Cathy McGann.

Your Negotiating Committee met in Phoenix to work on proposals, gather data, and make sure that all outstanding issues in our ongoing contract negotiations are resolved.

The parties have agreed to meet in Dallas at Southwest Airlines Headquarters on Tuesday, August 17, 2021. This will be the first face to face meeting between both Negotiating Committees since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020. Unfortunately, due to government travel restrictions, Mediator McGuckin will be unable to join in person, but will be joining electronically or telephonically.

Thank you all for your continued Support and Solidarity.

 

In Solidarity and Fraternally,

 

Your Negotiating Committee

April Butler,     Carrie Lessley     Kenny Champagne

Lollie Beecher,     Teresa Beynon,    Charity Hamer,      Nancy Shortino
