Washington D.C. – The National Mediation Board (NMB) today set dates for the union representation election for American Airlines passenger service agents.

American Airlines management has spent nearly a year and millions of dollars trying to block employees’ democratic right to vote. It was December 2011 when the Communications Workers of America petitioned the NMB on behalf of passenger service agents who want an election and a union voice.

Voting instructions will be mailed to 9,700 agents on Dec. 4. The election will be conducted by the NMB using telephone electronic voting and Internet voting, with the voting period in effect from Dec. 4 through Jan. 15, 2013. At 2 pm on Jan. 15, the vote will be tallied at the NMB offices in Washington D.C.

American Airlines has been instructed to provide the NMB with labels with the names and current addresses of employees on the list of those eligible to vote by November 6.

3. Another reason for Union Households to vote Democratic

The Three Members of the NMB are appointed by the President. A Republican Administration appoints Management Friendly Board Members, a Democratic Administration Appoints Labor Friendly Members, then all we can hope it that they do the right thing. Its not the Supreme Court, but if you live under the Railway Labor Act, it is very important,
Vote Democratic
