Southwest Airlines has announced that its customer support and services, and airport customer service employees represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 142, have voted to ratify the tentative, four-year contract that both parties reached in May 2009.
The new contract is active through October 31, 2012. The International Association of Machinists (IAM) and Aerospace Workers represent more than 5,300 Southwest Airlines employees.
Mike Ven, executive vice president and COO of Southwest Airlines, said: "Our hard working customer support and services representatives in the call centers and our airport customer service agents provide outstanding service each day. I am also proud of the negotiating teams for their nine months of effort and for delivering this contract during challenging economic times."
