Vote Count at Eagle Falls Short
American Eagle agents fell short of winning CWA representation in their first election conducted by the National Mediation Board. Voting for CWA representation were 1,106 agents out of a unit of 2,962 eligible employees. Votes were counted at NMB headquarters Sept. 12, in Washington, D.C.
Under NMB rules, more than a majority of workers in the unit must cast votes for the election to be valid.
Workers who don’t vote are counted as a “no.”
“This first vote generated a lot of support and was built around the real issues agents are seeking to address at Eagle. We’re very proud of the work so many Eagle agents put into this campaign for a voice at their airline,” CWA Executive Vice President Larry Cohen said. CWA will continue to work with and support agents in their bid for union representation.
