The machinists’ union has reached a deal with Alaska Airlines management for a two-year contract extension that provides substantial raises for 5,300 gate agents, stores personnel and office staff, as well as for ramp workers who load cargo.
SEATTLE — The machinists’ union has reached a deal with Alaska Airlines management for a two-year contract extension that provides substantial raises for 5,300 gate agents, stores personnel and office staff, as well as for ramp workers who load cargo.
In a statement, Alaska’s Chief Operating Officer, Constance von Muehlen called the deal “a meaningful investment in our Alaska Airlines airport customer service, stores, cargo, ground service and reservations agents.” The airline, however, is still embroiled in more consequential contract talks with its pilot union, the Air Line Pilots Association , representing about 3,000 pilots.
That will help Alaska “to make sure that they lock in any employees that they currently have and to attract future employees,” he said. “The airline is growing, and I think they still have a need for more employees.”In April, the Transport Workers Union, representing about 100 Alaska dispatchers, also agreed to a new contract that includes increased pay with added steps to ensure wage rates remain competitive.
