R25-38 ADD NEW: SRI-XX CBA Extension Voting Rights
Extensions to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) shall be sent to the membership to be voted upon. An extension passes if it receives a majority of the votes cast.
Rationale: National leadership, on multiple occasions, has made clear their contempt for the membership’s right to self-determination by withholding the ability to vote on contract extensions. Through the exploitation of a loophole in our national constitution, we are denied the ability to vote on what should be the most basic and inalienable right available to a bargaining unit member. Other major aerospace unions, including ALPA, UAW, and IAM– encompassing over 1 million bargaining unit members– are afforded the right to vote on contract extensions, and yet we have been held hostage by multiple NATCA presidents who have taken it upon themselves to make such a decision unilaterally, forcing many members to spend what will likely be the majority of their careers under the same contract. This resolution seeks to right this injustice and give the power back to the dues-paying membership.
