TEAMSTERS LAND INDUSTRY-LEADING DEAL AT UNITED AIRLINES
The Teamsters Union reached a new contract agreement in principle with United Airlines for over 11,000 mechanics and related employees after nearly two years of negotiations and member-led contract action.
A bargaining committee of business agents and rank-and-file members voted 19-to-12 to recommend the agreement for ratification by union members.
The agreement includes industry-leading wage increases, accelerated progression to top pay in five years instead of eight, and a $54 million signing bonus, providing $5,000 to each member.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters fully recommends ratification, highlighting significant gains including wage increases, medical plan extensions, and a faster grievance process.
