Alaska Airlines Pilots to Airline CEO: Do the Right Thing and Value Your Pilots Alaska Airlines Pilots to Airline CEO: Do the Right Thing and Value Your Pilots Alaska Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), delivered a letter Monday to Ben Minicucci, the chief executive officer of Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines, asking him to stop stalling contract negotiations and come to the table willing to bargain an industry-standard contract. After actively negotiating since spring 2019, no agreement has been reached on a new contract for the pilots. “Alaska pilots stepped up during the pandemic to do the right thing and help keep the airline operating,” said Capt. Will McQuillen, chairman of ALPA’s Alaska Airlines Master Executive Council. “Now we’re asking Alaska management to live the company’s core value and ‘do the right thing’ by valuing our contributions to the airline and making basic quality-of-life and job security improvements that our peers at major airlines have enjoyed for years.” McQuillen emphasized the work ALPA members have done to pass the federal payroll support program, which helped keep the company afloat during the pandemic.

Service + Solidarity Spotlight: LCLAA Speaks Out on Latina Equal Pay Day Service + Solidarity Spotlight: LCLAA Speaks Out on Latina Equal Pay Day Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our regular Service + Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story. The pay gap is one of the most visible challenges Latinas face in the workplace, and it goes beyond low-wage workers, affecting Latinas at all levels. Today is Latina Equal Pay Day, and this year Latinas had to work nearly 10 more months on average in order for their pay to match White male workers. The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) is fighting for an economy in which Latinas’ potential and success are not limited by their gender. On Wednesday, LCLAA held an empowering online webinar: Beyond the Pay Gap: Building an Economy that Works for Trabajadoras. This event examined the various inequalities both in and out of the workplace that contribute to the pay gap. “Today, we observe this day by highlighting the challenges that Latinas face, both in and outside the workplace which contribute to the pay gap,” said LCLAA National President Yanira Merino (LIUNA). “As Latina and Latino trade unionists, we cannot allow a demographic that makes up nearly 8% of our national labor force to be systematically underpaid. We will therefore continue to fight for equal pay to raise awareness of the Latina pay gap among our union siblings and leadership.” Kenneth Quinnell Fri, 10/22/2021 - 09:25 — Oct 22

Service + Solidarity Spotlight: Arizona’s Union Members Keep Up the Pressure for the PRO Act Service + Solidarity Spotlight: Arizona’s Union Members Keep Up the Pressure for the PRO Act Working people across the United States have stepped up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our regular Service + Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story. Union members in Arizona are on the front lines in the fight for the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. Thousands of workers across the state are campaigning to pass this crucial legislation, as both Sens. Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona have not signed on as co-sponsors. The Arizona AFL-CIO has been the hub of this campaign, bringing together affiliates and organizing actions throughout the state. The state federation is sharing the voices of its members like Marilyn Wilbur (UNITE HERE): “Being a veteran, I didn’t fight all those years in the military to have people treated wrongly when they worked so hard to take care of their family. I would like the PRO Act to pass because one job should be enough, and it’s not right now.” Kenneth Quinnell Thu, 10/21/2021 - 09:29 — Oct 21
