US Airways Returns Positions to Twin City

t's been a busy last couple of weeks at CWA local 3640 as the union helps new hires get their feet on the ground. The positions they're filling once belonged to workers who took early buyouts and were off-shored to Manila and other foreign cities with the union's agreement. This, after US Airways filed bankruptcy in 2004 for the second time in two years. "The union at that time made a diligent effort to be able to save and retain as much in the contract as we could faced with the economic times," said Hardy. The airline's part of the deal was to protect the remaining positions and eventually route all reservations calls made in the U.S. to U.S. call centers only."You will be able to outsource them with the knowledge of knowing that you have to bring the jobs back and that contingency was October 31 of 2011 and that has happened," Hardy said.
