Grievances
In an effort to keep up with the pile-up of contract violations we have been inundated with by this current American Airlines administration. We have established a “2 Day” notification system in our grievance application. These notices will be sent out in an email to the Union representatives that are involved with the processing of these grievances in a timely manner. The Notification is sent 2 days prior to the next event so that we stay on top of the grievance timelines.
Please be sure to get these grievances moved to the next level within the specified time frame.
Article 33 of our current agreement has all the steps and procedures and can be found on the TWU514.org website.
