Team Members of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines:
We are sharing the attached letter to ensure you are aware of important information related to your votes in your union representation election. This letter is from Lee Seham, AMFA legal counsel, to AMFA Local 14 Airline Representative Brandon Statfield, and is being shared for your awareness.
The attached letter addresses concerns that ballots may be collected by a labor union (IAM), a practice the National Mediation Board has ruled unlawful because it compromises ballot secrecy. Employees are reminded of their right to vote privately, without pressure or interference.
Please review the attached letter for full details. Your vote is your own, is meant to be confidential, and should reflect your personal choice. Please report any experiences of a union collecting votes you may have encountered to the National Mediation Board.
Sincerely,
AMFA National
