DCA Piedmont Agents Tell Management: Keep the Pizza, Contract Now

CWA Piedmont passenger service and ramp agents at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were awarded the quarterly Customer Cup from American Airlines for their excellence in operations and customer service. But over two and a half years into negotiations for a new contract, members of CWA Local 2252 told the company: You can keep the pizza party; we’ll take a fair contract instead.

Per the Railway Labor Act, which governs contracts in the transportation industry, negotiations between CWA and Piedmont Airlines are now in federal mediation.
