UPS, Pilots Reach Tentative Agreement On New Labor Contract
June 30 2016 - 11:35AM
The Independent Pilots Association (IPA) and UPS Airlines
(NYSE:UPS) today announced a tentative agreement on a new five-year
labor contract.
The comprehensive agreement provides for improvements across all
sections of the contract. Specific details of the agreement will
not be disclosed before the IPA presents the proposed contract to
all UPS pilots.
The contract must be ratified by a majority of UPS’s 2,600
pilots. The vote by the pilots will be completed on Aug. 31. If
ratified, the new contract will become effective on Sep. 1, 2016,
and become amendable on Sep. 1, 2021.
“This tentative agreement has been unanimously approved and
endorsed by both the IPA Executive Board and our Negotiating
Committee. Over the next month we will present it to our members
with an unqualified recommendation for ratification,” said IPA
President Captain Robert Travis.
“This is an excellent offer and we are pleased to have reached
this agreement,” said Brendan Canavan, UPS Airlines president.
“This contract rewards our crewmembers for their outstanding
contributions and contains provisions that protect UPS’s ability to
deliver competitive service to our global customers.”
The tentative agreement was signed yesterday by the IPA and UPS
in the presence of Nicholas Geale, Chairman of the National
Mediation Board (NMB). The parties entered mediation in March 2014.
Both Travis and Canavan said they “commend the NMB for its guidance
and resources over the last 27 months and thank our mediator, Gerry
McGuckin, for his oversight and efforts.”
