(APPLETON, Wisc.) – On Friday, Oct. 18, at 12 p.m., Allegiant Air pilots represented by Teamsters Local 2118 will hold a practice picket outside Appleton International Airport to demand a fair contract.
Allegiant Air Teamsters are fighting for an agreement that improves pay and benefits and guarantees consistent schedules. The airline is refusing to make reasonable offers to its pilots who are seeking a wage increase for the first time in eight years.
Since Allegiant Air pilots last ratified their contract in 2016, other major airlines have significantly improved the pay, benefits, and working conditions for pilots. Allegiant Air Teamsters are demanding the airline get serious about negotiations and come to terms on an agreement that benefits workers and the flying public. The practice picket is the first step in what could be escalating action at the carrier.
WHAT: Allegiant Air Pilots Practice Picket
WHEN: Friday, October 18, 12 p.m. CDT
WHERE: Appleton International Airport | W6390 Challenger Dr., Appleton, WI, 54914
