American Airlines passenger service agents vote for union representation
American Airlines passenger service agents have voted to be represented by a coalition of the Communications Workers of America and International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
AA’s agents, who staff the gates and counters at airports and handle reservations, had voted down the CWA in 2013, prior to the Dec. 9 merger of US Airways and American.
But their US Airways peers are currently represented by the CWA-Teamsters coalition, and their employees combined with American’s employees to approve the CWA-IBT association as their union.
The CWA said that of the 11,187 voting, 86.2 percent of the airport and reservations employees had voted for the CWA-Teamsters coalition: 9,640 for, 1,547 against.
