https://reuther.wayne.edu/taxonomy/term/1269 The taxonomy view with a depth of 0. en https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/1907 <p>The President's Department records are arranged in three parts. </p> <p>Part I: The Air Line Pilots Association was formed in secret in 1930 by a group of “Key Men” from each airline, they formed openly and affiliated with the American Federation of Labor in 1931. In that same year David Behncke was elected president of ALPA, an office he held twenty years, until being recalled in 1951 (and off and on through 1952 during his legal battle with ALPA). His successor, Clarence Sayen, held office eleven years from 1951-62 and was replaced by Charles Ruby from 1962-70. These three president’s tenures make up part 1 of the President’s Department records. The collection is divided by each president’s term of office, with some overlap in election years, and some overlap between Behncke and Sayen from 1951-52 during the court battles and periodic switches in president. The collection is further divided into: correspondence (external, internal, and with airlines) and the supporting documentation, subject files, and governing bodies and committee records for each president’s tenure. Some of the subjects include: Psychological Testing, Medical Testing, Pilot Benefits, Hijacking, Flight Engineers Jurisdictional Dispute, Crew Complement, Age 60 Rule, United Airlines Class and Craft Dispute, American Airlines Secession, ALPA/ALSSA Split, Behncke Recall, Washington Move, and Technological Innovations. </p> <p>Part II reflects the office's activities, primarily under J.J. O'Donnell, in coordinating the activities of ALPA local offices and in speaking on behalf of its members in the media and before various government bodies. Predominately correspondence and reports, these records cover subjects such as airline mergers &amp; strikes, airport security, bomb threats, hijacking, and terrorism. Important correspondents include J. Edgar Hoover and George E. Hopkins.</p> <p>Part III focuses on the careers of the fourth, fifth, and sixth presidents of the Association, J.J. O’Donnell (1970-82), Henry Duffy (1982-90), and J. Randolph Babbitt (1990-98). One of the major issues the presidents from this era had to contend with was deregulation, which completely changed the landscape of the airline industry and the way unions functioned in that system. All three presidents struggled in the aftermath of unforeseen problems and challenges to ALPA pilots including Alter Ego airlines, Chapter 11 union-busting tactics, and the introduction of a B-scale. Other issues they faced include Hijacking, Crew Complement, Age 60 Rule, Cabatoge, Drug and Alcohol Testing, and Strikes at Continental and Eastern Airlines. Part III includes correspondence with government departments, industry organizations, and ALPA members; presidential statements; governing bodies minutes; department files; and committee meetings and reports.</p> <p>Part IV consists of records from the Southern Airways strike of 1960-1962. The collection largely contains correspondence, including communications regarding matters that weren’t settled until long after the strike ended.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/1907#comments Age discrimination in employment--United States Air Line Pilots Association Air safety Air traffic control Aircraft accident investigation Airline pilots Airlines Hijacking Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Management Airlines--Mergers--United States Airlines--Safety regulations Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Employees—Drug testing—United States Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Airlines—Safety measures Airlines—Technological innovations—United States Airplane crashes Airplanes—Noise Civil Aeronautics Board (U.S.) Civil Aeronautics Board (U.S.) Cockpit voice recorders Deregulation--United States Federal Aviation Administration Federal Aviation Administration Flight attendants--Labor unions--United States National Mediation Board (U.

The Executive Board exercises control over the association and manages its business affairs when the Board of Directors is not in session. The Executive Board can also interpret the constitution and by-laws, as well as create or change policy. The board covers issues such as administration, membership, accounting and finance, employment agreements, retirement and insurance, contract administration, and mergers. The records include minutes, agendas, transcripts, correspondence, general books, reports, and supporting documents for meetings from 1947-2009.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/8496#comments Air Line Pilots Association Air quality Airline pilots Airlines Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Mergers--United States Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Employees—Drug testing—United States Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Airlines—Technological innovations—United States Airplane Airworthiness Airplanes—Noise Civil Aeronautics Board (U.S.) Federal Aviation Administration Pilots Mon, 08 Feb 2021 15:32:24 -0500 bbealmear 8496 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/8495 <p> The Executive Committee (EXCO) was established in 1951 as part of the organizational restructuring of ALPA, with the first meeting occurring in 1953. The Committee worked with the president in a consultation role and was designed to execute policies made by the Board of Directors (BOD) and Executive Board (EXBD) as well as recommend policy to both bodies. In addition the Committee also determined the organizational structure of the home office, ratified staff members, and was a trustee for ALPA business and funds as well as scheduling BOD and EXBD meetings. The Committee consisted of President, Secretary, Treasurer and Regional Vice Presidents (later Executive Vice Presidents).<br /> The Committee covered Association issues such as: Budget, Negotiations, Contracts and Mergers, Membership and Staff, Insurance and Retirement, Engineering and Air Safety, Public Relations, and Affiliations. In 1992 the Committee was abolished and replaced by the Executive Council. The records of the Executive Committee covers the period of 1953-1992 and include Agendas, Minutes, Transcripts, Reports and Correspondence.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/8495#comments Air Line Pilots Association Air quality Airline pilots Airlines Airlines Hijacking Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Mergers--United States Airlines--Safety regulations Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Airlines—Safety measures Airlines—Technological innovations—United States Airplane Airworthiness Airplanes—Noise Civil Aeronautics Board (U.S.) Federal Aviation Administration Pilots Terrorism Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:33:17 -0500 srafferty 8495 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/8497 <p>In 1992, the ALPA Executive Council was created by the Board of Directors to replace the Executive Committee. The Executive Council helps advance the policies and objectives established by the Board of Directors and Executive Board. It has the authority to interpret the association’s constitution and by-laws and policy. The council mainly covers financial, accounting, organizational and administrative matters.

During this period 3400 of 4200 EAL pilots went out on sympathy strike along with the flight attendants represented by the Transportation Workers Union (TWU), both of whom voted to honor the International Association of Machinists (IAM) strike of Eastern Airlines. The Herndon EAL Strike Center Records focus on the records of EAL Council 142 located in Herndon, VA, but also include EAL wide communications. The records are made up mainly of the daily fax messages sent to each EAL strike center every day for strike coordinators, and pilots and their families. The updates included information on strike developments, negotiations, media coverage, and research to counter company information. They also provided information about benefits, family awareness blocks, and writings to keep morale up. In addition there is information on Operation Love Song, the IAM/ALPA/TWU travel agent program, MEC updates, and strike/picket information and procedures. Also included are pilot letters, writings, songs and poetry, and cartoons created during the strike. </p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/10858#comments Air Line Pilots Association Air safety Airline pilots Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Management Airlines--Mergers--United States Airlines--Safety regulations Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Safety measures Continental Airlines Eastern Airlines Federal Aviation Administration Flight attendants--Labor unions--United States National Mediation Board (U.

Following the same basic structure as ALPA, the division had its own Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Executive Board, and national officers of Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Initially consisting of 20 airlines and around 3,580 stewardesses, by 1969 the S&amp;S Division represented approximately 10,000 stewardesses through Local Executive, and Master Executive Councils on each of their airlines and assisted them with negotiations, grievances, sex and age discrimination, air safety and equal employment issues. In 1973 the stewardesses signed a charter of affiliation with ALPA and formed the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA). The Steward and Stewardess Division Records contains Office Records, Correspondence, Governing Bodies Minutes, MEC/LEC Records, Publications, Negotiations, Agreements, and Constitutions and By-laws. The subjects covered include: Air Safety, Crew Complements, Organizing, Uniforms, Contract Negotiations, Seniority, Negotiations, Bidding, Scheduling, Sex Discrimination, Marriage Rules, Age Discrimination, Maternity Leave, ALSSA/ALPA Dispute, Strikes, Age 32/35 Policies, and Women’s Rights.</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/8612#comments Age discrimination in employment--United States Air Line Pilots Association Air safety Airlines Hijacking Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Management Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Airlines—Safety measures Federal Aviation Administration Flight attendants--Labor unions--United States National Mediation Board (U.

ALPA soon began to produce Air Line Pilot monthly and steadily increased the page count, eventually publishing in the present magazine form in 1949. Air Line Pilot covers a variety of topics relevant to pilots such as news in the airline industry, ALPA structure and Association news, technical innovations and information, medical studies, contracts and organizing, and stories on airlines and individual pilots. Subjects include 85 Hour Rule, Age 60, ALPA Organizing, Air Mail, Ariel Hijacking, B Scale, Crew Complement, Deregulation, Eastern Airlines Strike, Northwest Airlines Strike, Southern Airways Strike, Steward and Stewardess Division, Terrorism, Trans World Airlines Strike, Wien Airlines Strike, and Wind Shear.

ALPA maintained that all pilots should receive the same salary regardless of the size of the airline, but Southern Airways, a smaller company, claimed they could only afford to pay a lower rate.

The pilots held the line for 285 days, but when they finally voted to return to work at the end of November there were no jobs left to return to. In fact, in less than three years after the vote to strike, Eastern Airlines ceased operations permanently, never to fly again. <span class='read-more'><a href="https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/11259" target="_blank"><strong>&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</strong></a></span></p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/11259#comments Air Line Pilots Association Air quality Air safety Airline pilots Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Employees Airlines--Strikes and lockouts Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Mon, 03 Mar 2014 09:44:48 -0500 srafferty 11259 at https://reuther.wayne.edu https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/13251 <p>By the late 1950s, it was becoming increasingly clear that the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) would have to strike against Southern Airways (SOU). The main issue was wages. The union maintained that all of their aviators should receive the same salary regardless of the size of the airline, but SOU, a smaller, regional carrier, claimed they could only afford to pay a lower rate. ALPA knew this was a battle they had to take on, though it would not be easy. Frank Hulse, the founder and president of SOU, was staunchly anti-union, and had recently succeeded in breaking up the mechanic’s union at Southern Airways.
