The Air Line Pilots Association today filed a lawsuit against Alaska Airlines in federal District Court in Seattle. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and asks the court to vacate the April 30, 2005 arbitration decision and return to the status quo as it existed prior to that award.
The Complaint filed today contends that the Arbitration Board, with Richard Kasher as Arbitrator, violated the Railway Labor Act by failing to exercise its jurisdiction an apply an average with respect to the Association's request for a work preservation provision. The Complaint also charges that the Arbitration Board failed to abide by its jurisdictional limitation regarding the subject of profit sharing because the Board went outside the positions of the parties on the subject.
The Association continues to desire to work with Management to find a fair, equitable and negotiated labor agreement. The Association hopes Management will join us in working toward that goal.
