United Airlines Latest Insulting Offer to Teamsters Technicians

[T-Link Reporter]

United Airlines just responded to the Teamsters economic proposal with another insulting offer.



Instead of building on the progress made last month, the company came to the table seeking concessions on 401(k) and sick leave. All while United execs rake in hundreds of millions in bonuses.



“United says it can’t afford to take care of us, but it somehow finds hundreds of millions for executives,” said Dan Andrew, a GSE technician from Teamsters Local 781 serving on the national negotiating committee. “If the money’s there for the C-suite, then there's money for the workers who actually keep planes flying and passengers safe."



Teamsters are demanding top-tier pay, stronger retirement, and job protections at every station. United’s proposal doesn’t cut it.
