New Lodge Hours Local Lodge 2202 hours are: RAMP ARBITRATION Federal Arbitrator Rules Alaska Airlines Violated Union Contract When it Outsourced 500 Union-Represented Baggage Handling Jobs to Menzies Aviation The ruling comes more than three years after Alaska Airlines subcontracted it's entire ground handling operation to Menzies Aviation in Seattle. IAM-represented ramp employees who showed up to work on May 13, 2005 had their security badges deactivated by Alaska and were told that they no longer had jobs. Since outsourcing the work to Menzies, Alaska has endured negative press reports involving lost and mishandled bags, flight delays, safety problems, and increased customer complaints. The Federal Arbitrator who decided the case considered the parties' contract language, which permitted Alaska Airlines to subcontract the ground handling work only if it was cheaper than keeping the work in-house. The Federal Arbitrator directed Alaska Airlines and IAM District 143 to work together to determine the appropriate remedy for the contract breach, but will take the matter up again if Alaska Airlines and District 143 are unable to agree on a solution.
