Based on your consistent feedback prior to, and throughout the negotiations process, you have identified the top priorities of United Flight Attendants. These are the 12 Major Issues we will bring to Expedited Negotiations.  Your priorities were identified through 3 comprehensive Membership surveys, town hall meetings, roadshows, feedback through the FANN and input to your Local Council through face-to-face discussions. 

Your priorities have remained firm from the inception of our negotiations.  We should recognize that these 12 major issues might not be everyone’s personal top 12, however, all the information is consistent and clear that these issues are the collective priorities of our Membership. 

Per the Protocol Agreement, a major issue will not be an entire Section of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), but instead will be a specific sub-section and/or provision of the current CBA and/or included in a previous proposal to be resolved during these negotiations. Neither party has the ability to “veto” the other’s issues.

The following is the list of the 12 major issues submitted by the company to be discussed during Expedited Mediation. Consistent with management's approach throughout the Section 6 process the company's 12 issues continue to focus on productivity, efficiencies and flexibility for the operation.
