Negotiations Update March 25, 2025
Dear Crew,
Your negotiations team and our AFA Negotiator met with the company in London from March 17-21 for negotiations to negotiate a new contract, as well as close out several outstanding letters of agreement, and resolve an outstanding grievance.
We are pleased to announce that after a long week, we have reached a Tentative Agreement on a new contract!
In addition, we have five letters of agreement signed, and closed out the outstanding grievance.
This Tentative Agreement (TA) will be sent out to you for membership ratification. Your Negotiations Committee supports this TA and are recommending a YES vote. Voting timeline and information for the TA will be announced shortly.
You can find a copy of our Tentative Agreement (TA) below

Outstanding Grievance
The outstanding grievance that was settled was about the ATH hotel and the issues that crew have been having with bugs being found in their rooms. We will be staying at the same hotel as last summer, but with some improvements for the crew to mitigate this risk.
