PILOTS REACH TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WITH WORLD AIRWAYS AFTER NINE DAY STRIKE
JOB SECURITY, INSURANCE AND ADEQUATE PAY RESOLVED WITH AGREEMENT
EL MONTE, CA – The Executive Council and the Negotiating Committee of the pilots of World Airways announced today that they have reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) with World Airways, Inc. ending their nine day strike.
The TA is subject to ratification by more than 400 pilots represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Teamsters Local 986. They had sought job security, adequate medical and life insurance and fair compensation increase that would not be wiped out by increased benefit and cost of living increases.
“We are very happy that the company finally came back to the table to actually negotiate so that we could reach this agreement,” said Captain Luis Carmona, Executive Council Chairman of the World Airways Pilots’ union. “We look forward to putting the details of the TA out to our pilot group for approval so that we can move past this unfortunate time and go back to flying for the premier ACMI (provides aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance) carrier in the industry.”
The pilots of World Airways began a nine day strike with an initial spot strike on January 28, 2006 after talks broke down between the pilot’s Negotiating Committee and World Airways’ management under the auspices of the National Mediation Board (NMB).
“Our intention throughout these negotiations was to protect the jobs and futures of Word Airways pilots and their families. We believe this TA accomplishes that objective,“ said Captain Mark Ohlau, World Airways Pilots Executive Council Member and Negotiating Committee Chairman. “Throughout this process our strength has been the strength of our pilot group and their resolve to make management understand, this wasn’t about compensation, it was about our crew members wanting long careers as World Airways pilots.”
Plans are underway between the union and the company to resume all commercial operations that were shut down by the company during the strike.
A subsidiary of World Air Holdings, Inc., World Airways is the largest commercial carrier of US military personnel. The airline also provides cargo services for several international carriers.
The pilots, who became Teamsters in 1967, are among approximately 40,000 members of the Teamsters Airline Division. For further updates, please see www.worldpilotlabortalks.com.
