US Airways Pilots to Vote on New Union
Posted on: Tuesday, 19 February 2008, 18:00 CST
The US Airline Pilots Association (USAPA) was notified today by the National Mediation Board (NMB) that a representational election for the US Airways Pilots has been called for. In today's NMB communication, US Airways management has been directed to provide mailing labels to the NMB that match the list of eligible voting pilots the carrier provided earlier.
"On November 13, 2007 USAPA filed an application with the NMB that included thousands of written election requests from US Airways pilots," said Stephen Bradford, USAPA's President. "We are gratified to know that the US Airways pilots will finally be afforded an opportunity to select a new collective bargaining agent."
USAPA is the independent labor union specifically designed to represent the interests of US Airways Pilots. Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, USAPA represents only US Airways pilots. Because USAPA represents only US Airways pilots, far greater focus is placed on the specific career needs of the US Airways pilot workforce. USAPA notes that the most highly-compensated pilots in the U.S. passenger transport business are represented by company-specific unions.

USAPA is represented by the law firm of Seham, Seham, Meltz & Peterson LLP.
