US Airways' Reservations, Airport Ticketing/Gate Workers Reach Tentative Agreement on Additional Cost-Cutting Measures
Wednesday December 18, 5:07 pm ET
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Communications Workers of America (CWA), which represents approximately 6,300 reservations workers and airport ticketing and gate agents, today reached a tentative agreement with US Airways on additional cost-cutting measures as part of the company's restructuring.
US Airways continues to have productive discussions with its other unions on further savings. The company intends to file its plan of reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on Friday, Dec. 20, 2002.
"The CWA has shown extraordinary leadership in reaching this decision and we applaud them for taking these difficult steps in supporting our company as it plans to emerge from bankruptcy. By entering into this agreement, the CWA has shown its continuing commitment to our airline during this very difficult period," said Jerry A. Glass, US Airways senior vice president of employee relations.
Last week the Air Line Pilots Association's (ALPA) Master Executive Council ratified its cost-cutting agreement. The other unions representing US Airways employees are the International Association of Machinists (IAM) -- machinist and related workers; IAM -- fleet service workers; Association of Flight Attendants (AFA); and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) -- dispatchers, simulator engineers, and flight crew training instructors.
