WASHINGTON, D.C. – Flight Attendants represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), from each of the pre-merger airlines, US Airways and former America West, voted against a tentative agreement offered by US Airways management. Ninety percent of the over 6,700 combined Flight Attendants participated in the voting process.
The National Mediation Board (NMB) will retain oversight under Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act. AFA will conduct a survey of members to determine which items in the tentative agreement need to be modified in order to reach an agreement that can be ratified.
