Southwest Seeks Federal Mediation in TWU Negotiations Posted on Wed, 09/10/03 17:21
Southwest Airlines announced today that we have requested the assistance of the National Mediation Board to conclude negotiations and reach a new contract with TWU Local 556, which represents our 7,200 Flight Attendants.
“We are committed to negotiating a new contract which recognizes the unparalleled excellence of the Flight Attendants of Southwest Airlines,” said CEO and Vice Chairman Jim Parker. “Unfortunately, it no longer appears that this is possible without outside assistance. This is why we have requested the assistance of the National Mediation Board.”
Southwest expects the National Mediation Board to appoint a Mediator, who will establish a schedule and ground rules for future negotiating sessions. “After 16 months of negotiations, we are anxious to reach an agreement and believe the National Mediation Board will expedite this matter,” Jim said.
