Dear Members, Please be compliant with the "side letter" regarding "Flight Attendant Cabin Cleaning". The IAM Utility are still responsible to clean ALL HUBS first and second shifts. Until such time, utility is no longer responsible for this work, flight attendants ARE NOT responsible to clean in those stations. We will let you know when this occurs. If an agent or pilot are pressuring you, please show them the "side letter" (see below). Teddy MEC President, AFA-CWA ------------------------- Mr. Perry Hayes MEC President Association of Flight Attendants–CWA; AFL-CIO 200 Marshall Drive Coraopolis, PA 15108 Re: Aircraft Cabin Cleaning Dear Mr. Hayes: During the course of negotiations for the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement, the Company and the Association agreed to the following with respect to aircraft cabin cleaning: Upon the Effective Date of the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement, Flight Attendants may be required to complete cabin cleaning duties, as defined below, at every domestic station and Nassau (NAS) following every such flight segment, with the exception of the following: transoceanic flight segments, NTI segments other than NAS, and flight segments immediately preceding the scheduled RON of the aircraft or immediately following a scheduled red-eye, or immediately following any segment that originates or terminates in an airport west of Kansas City. Such cabin cleaning duties shall be defined as, and limited to, the following: collecting papers and refuse in the cabin of the aircraft; crossing seatbelts; stowing pillows and blankets in the overhead compartments; removing visible items from the seatback pockets; and collecting and stowing magazines as applicable. A flight attendant will not be required to perform such cabin cleaning duties after the conclusion of his/her duty day. The Company and the Association further understand and agree that this Letter of Agreement has the effect of (1) modifying Section 30.F of the 2004 AFA-US Airways Agreement, and (2) eliminating Letter of Agreement #21, dated March 25, 2000, and as modified by the December 3, 2002 letter from Michael J. Minerva to Perry Hayes. This Letter of Agreement does not require any flight attendant to engage in any individual cabin cleaning duty where doing so violates the scope provision then-governing any other non-flight attendant who both is employed by US Airways, Inc. and represented by any other union. Flight Attendants, however, will be required to perform all of the cabin cleaning duties defined above even in instances where the Company has contracted vendor cleaners on duty. Sincerely, E. Allen Hemenway Vice President Labor Relations Agreed ________________________ Perry Hayes MEC President |
