Expedited Mediation

2012-2016 Contract

What is Expedited Mediation?Moving to an Expedited Mediated process for our negotiations means that we could reach a Contract quicker that achieves the top priorities that you have identified.  We will remain with the Section 6 process and will retain the protections of the Railway Labor Act.   If we reach an Agreement, it will bring us closer to obtaining a Single Contract and a merged workforce. Both AFA and management have everything to gain by Expedited Mediation and nothing to lose. Expedited Mediation Q&A (Nov 4, 2011)
