LAS
VEGAS, March 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Allegiant (NASDAQ: ALGT) and The Transport Workers Union of
America, AFL-CIO Local 577 announce they have reached a tentative
agreement on all remaining open issues for the successor to the
parties' first collective bargaining agreement.
The parties' first collective bargaining agreement became
amendable on December 21, 2022, and
Allegiant and the TWU were able to secure the new five-year
tentative agreement in just over a year and a half of bargaining by
building on their strong positive working
relationship.
The new Tentative Agreement covering Allegiant's 1,700+ flight
attendants includes significant increases to wages, a modified duty
rig to provide additional compensation for extended operational
delays and designated Holiday pay. Improvements also include
enhancements to retirement benefits, deadhead pay, bonus flight
hour calculations, and vacation allocation and pay. Allegiant
flight attendants will enjoy meaningful quality of life
improvements in scheduling, hours of service and leave of absence.
Additionally, the parties have agreed to introduce a minimum trip
pairing pay.
"We are encouraged the negotiating teams for both Allegiant and
the TWU have come to a tentative agreement," said Allegiant
President Gregory C. Anderson. "Our
cabin crew take care of our customers as our ambassadors in the
sky. This contract is structured to meaningfully improve their
experience and better recognize their vital role as part of Team
Allegiant. We look forward to the next step in the
process."
The deal still requires a ratification vote by the union's full
membership, which is expected to be complete next month.
