US Airways Group Inc. (LCC) Friday reported reaching a tentative new collective bargaining agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants, or AFA. The agreement is yet to be approved by the AFA Master Executive Counsel's - an action whose completion the company anticipates "in the coming weeks". The AFA is expected to publish the details of the agreement.
Al Hemenway, US Airways' vice president for Labor, commented "We want to express our appreciation to the National Mediation Board and our mediator Jim MacKenzie, for his instrumental role in helping both parties reach a successful conclusion to our mediated negotiation sessions. I would also like to thank the leadership of AFA for their hard work in helping us reach a tentative agreement with our exceptional flight attendants."
