Dear Air Wisconsin Flight Attendants:
We are pleased to be able to present to you a Tentative Agreement which includes immediate improvements for our workgroup. Despite the uncertain times in the airline industry we never wavered in our demand that Air Wisconsin Flight Attendants need and deserve a contract.
The agreement includes
3% wage increase (2% on date of signing and 1% on the day prior to the amendable date)
Segment pay which was one of our key objectives in bargaining.
“A” pay for one Flight Attendant on aircraft requiring two Flight Attendants
Increase in per diem to $1.80 for all Flight Attendants. Elimination of the “B” scale per diem for junior Flight Attendants.
A signing bonus of between $870 and $2,100 based on one’s seniority
Early Out Program for Flight Attendants interested in separating from Air Wisconsin
Ability to drop to 45 hours with no reduction or loss of benefits
And we were able to resist management's long list of concessions.
Perhaps most importantly, while most airline contracts are four or five years, this will last only two years. Ratification of this TA will allow us to obtain immediate gains in these uncertain financial times and allow us to get back to the bargaining table when the bargaining climate will likely be more favorable.
We thank all of you for your support in the strike vote and the countless pickets and other negotiations support activities over the last several years. Your support for these negotiations made a difference in these very difficult negotiations. We look forward to continuing the struggle.
After a full review, we have voted to approve this tentative agreement and send it out to the membership for ratification. We believe that ratification of this Tentative Agreement will provide needed immediate improvements and get us back to bargaining quickly to fight for all that we deserve.
We encourage you to take the time to review all of the information and get your questions answered.
In Solidarity,
Doris Millard Derric McDaniel Michael Bounds
