Positive Rate Episode 12: Agreement in Principle and the Path Ahead


In the latest episode of our “Positive Rate” podcast, APA President CA Ed Sicher and Vice President CA Chris Torres discuss next steps following last Thursday's announcement of an agreement in principle (AIP) between APA and American Airlines management on a new collective bargaining agreement. Among the topics covered: the difference between an AIP and a tentative agreement, whether APA should consider enlisting the assistance of the National Mediation Board, and the process for ensuring the membership is able to make an informed decision once they have the opportunity to cast a vote on a new agreement.
