Greetings, AFA 66 eCommunication - Thursday, October 8, 2009 -
PART 2 On September 26, 2008 a contractual grievance was filed on behalf of all USAirways West Flight Attendants with regards to the Brinks safe. Specifically, the Company’s refusal to compensate flight attendants for the additional time required to deposit money, due to the machines being unreliable. On June 11, 2009 at a Settlement Conference with USAirways Labor Management, the grievance was presented and Management offered a settlement. This settlement was accepted with specific conditions. Of these are: v management issuing instructions for submitting future pay exception forms with regards to time spent past trip release on Brinks deposits. v management offering viable alternatives for depositing when the Brinks machines are inoperable v management assurance that no discipline would be given to flight attendants who make their deposits at the beginning of their next trip, or by dropping it in the Brinks slot, as long as they follow the company directed notification process. Should a flight attendant work past their release time to deposit funds into the Brinks machine they will be given the time of the extension of their duty day, with the submission of a pay exception form including attachments. The attachments will include: 1) a copy of the flight attendants pairing 2) a copy of the Brinks deposit receipt , verifying the additional time needed to complete the deposit Those flight attendants who submitted pay exception forms for this grievance will be receiving their additional pay shortly, if not already. The agreement was officially signed, after review by our AFA Staff Attorney, on September 16, 2009. If you should have any questions,
