Prefunding Contribution Presidential Grievance (CORRECTION) – [email protected]
In last week’s hotline, it was announced that dates were proposed for the prefunding Presidential Grievance arbitration regarding the company’s refusal to distribute its prefunding match to active Flight Attendants. In fact, the contributions made by the Company on behalf of Flight Attendants who are still active and those who retired after October 31, 2012, are covered under the filed Presidential Grievance.
