The current contract wasn’t set to expire for another two years, but a union leader says both the union and Alaska Airlines were motivated to get to the negotiating table last month to address industry-wide staffing struggles.
July 29, 2022Richard Johnsen, Vice president of Air Transport Territory speaks in front of Alaska Airlines employees on Thursday, Jul. 28, 2022.
The union represents around 5,300 Alaska Airlines reservations and customer service agents, and ramp workers — the people you see sorting baggage and guiding planes on the tarmac. About 900 of those workers are spread out across Alaska. The tentative agreement would raise base wages as much as 17.4% starting next month, with more scheduled raises down the line. It includes job security clauses as well as longevity pay increases. Benefits would stay the same.
