Airlines out of Alaska

An Alaska Airlines Trade Unions Workers' posts for better pay

On Monday, Alaska Airlines employees worked at West Coast airfields from Fairbanks to San Diego. You' re angry about sluggish contractual negotiation. At Juneau, office employees, platform crews and support personnel, representing the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, wore fluorescent-green t-shirts with the inscription "Show us the money" as they moved signage in the square opposite the parking lot of the ATC.

For Alaska Airlines, John Walters is working on the Juneau International Airport dock. Most of the time he and about 20 other trade unionists and supporter protested. The Juneau protest was one of 10 in West Coast towns, according to trade unions. Some 20 workmen were employed in Anchorage and a few in Fairs.

The president of locally 2202 Kaleb Rosa said they first contacted the carrier in August 2017 to start contractual talks. As Rosa said, under the Railway Labour Code, the trade unions cannot go on strike without the consent of Congress. Instead, they hope to exert government leverage on Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines issued a declaration confirming that it is in the midst of bargaining two collective bargaining contracts with the trade unions.

It said it did not discuss details during trade unions talks, but it does support the payment of equitable and competitively priced salaries and offers advantages in terms of service as well.

of Alaska Airlines: Homosexual couples separately, heterosexual couples awarded seating

At Alaska Airlines we apologize for an excess booking in which a homosexual couples was asked to give their places to a straight family. "Incorrectly, we were booking two persons in one place. Commenting on the declaration, the freight forwarder added that he had a "zero toleration politics for all forms of discrimination".

" Later the airline said, "This unhappy event was due to a seat failure, aggravated by a full plane and crews trying to depart on schedule, and nothing more. It is our principle to put all our family together wherever possible; this has not happened here, and we regret the whole thing most.

We have approached Mr Cooley to sincerely apologise for what has taken place and we are trying to do it right. "Variety and integration are part of the Alaska Airlines structure. A single carrier for all, we mirror these core beliefs through our work with tens of non-profit LGBTQ organisations, Pride Parades along the West Coast and a flawless HRC's Equality Index rating.

" This apology came after David Cooley, the Los Angeles restaurateur, was on Facebook on Sunday to share his experiences on an Alaska Airlines trip from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport. "When my travel guide and I had sat in our allocated places for a while, we were contacted by the stewardess and my guide was asked to switch from his prime seating to the bus so that a pair could get together.

We were a pair and we wanted to be together. Cooley, proprietor of the legendary LA Gays The Abbey in a Facebook mail that was divided more than 2,100x, wrote: "He had the option of either giving up the premier seats and switching to the trainer or getting off the airplane.

"Cooley added, "We couldn't stand the sense of being humiliated for a whole cross-country trip and got off the airplane. "Nowadays, I can't believe an air carrier would give a heterosexual pair preference over a homosexual pair and even go so far as to ask us to go.

"

" Confederate regulations allow airlines to define their own selection criterion for passenger bumping, but the practise can be expensive, both in terms of damaging an airline's image and in terms of paying those who are forced to give up their seat. Last year, an audit of state aeronautical records revealed that those pushed by Alaska Airlines' flights were paid the highest annual passenger allowance of $1,605.
