Dear Member:

The Company postponed meetings with the Negotiating Committee that were previously scheduled for this week. Those meetings have been rescheduled for October 20 and 21.

In the meantime, your Negotiating Committee will be hosting an informational Zoomcast for Members on Friday, October 9, at 1100 CT. Please join this webcast to hear directly from the Negotiating Committee and its legal and economic advisors about concessions and furloughs. (A replay will also be made available after the webcast.)

Use the link below to join the webcast from your computer or mobile device.

As TWU Local 556 continues to advocate on behalf of Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants, securing an extension of the CARES Act is incredibly important. This would help avoid furloughs through March 2021. It is strongly recommended that all Members reach out to your congressional representatives to make our voices heard. Please click here to email your representative.

 

In Solidarity,

Negotiations Committee
