Strike Fund Vote

2012-2016 Contract

The United AFA-CWA Strike Fund Vote is being conducted electronically using the telephone or Internet.  All active Members in Good Standing (read more about this in the Voting Q and A) on the count date who have cast their ballot will have their vote counted.  Ballot approval requires a two-thirds majority of valid votes cast.  You may vote as many times as you like, using either the Internet or telephone, but only your last recorded vote will be counted in the ballot tally.  So, the decision is yours.

The question on the ballot is:

Do you approve a $3.75 temporary monthly dues increase to remain in place until a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is ratified, specifically for the purpose of building a Strike Fund for the use of United Airlines Flight Attendants in our efforts to secure an Industry-Leading Contract?
