  • ASSOCIATION UPDATE 12.15.18
    Posted On: Dec 15, 2018

    Please read the following message from Gary Peterson and the attached Association Update regarding negotiations.  I will be attending the upcoming "face to face" meeting in January here in San  Francisco, will have more information after those meetings.

    "Yesterday’s call with the NMB was the second status check from the mediator’s and the parties.  As previously discussed, the primary objective in SFO will be for the parties to present “Health & Welfare” positions.  

    It is important to remember that this mediated session is not just about the current cost of health care.  The discussions will include items such as the unions rights in medical plan design, plan increase limits, the ability to audit annual plan costs, retiree healthcare for current members, long term and short term disability, etc.  

    Many of our rights were stripped from us in bankruptcy and not having the ability to simply audit annual insurance plan costs should raise everyone’s attention.  Under the bankruptcy language, we are forced to pay what American projects it’s cost will be, not the actual cost and without any audit process there is no way to validate what American charges us. Some of you may recall that we successfully reduced insurance cost increases prior to bankruptcy, because we had the right to audit the plans."
