Hawaiian Airlines pilots to vote on strike authorisation
Pilot leaders at Hawaiian Airlines will ask members to give them authority to strike if labour negotiations break down and the federal govt authorises a walkout, ALPA said April 19. According to ALPA, its members are “fed up with management foot-dragging on a new contract while their airline is making record profits.” ALPA’s Hawaiian Airlines Master Executive Council (MEC) voted April 14 unanimously to conduct a strike authorisation ballot. The Hawaiian pilot group also asked the union to authorise a US$2m grant from ALPA’s Major Contingency Fund to help pay for prestrike preparation. Voting on the strike ballot will begin April 25 and conclude May 17. If the ballot passes, it would authorise the Hawaiian MEC to declare a strike once the pilot group is given permission to do so by the National Mediation Board. <br/>
