It may surprise some of you to know that unions have to deal with unions representing their employees. But they do.

The Allied Pilots Association said Friday that the labor group representing its headquarters employees, Allied Pilots Staff Employees Association, had rejected a contract proposal from the APA. APA represents pilots at American Airlines.

“APSEA’s officers subsequently informed us they would like to re-engage APA at the bargaining table. We would welcome the opportunity to resume negotiations,” APA said.

“While our preference is to reach a negotiated agreement that addresses APA’s and APSEA’s respective priorities, it is possible the APSEA-represented employees will choose to exercise their right to withdraw their services. APA likewise reserves the right to engage in legal self-help,” APA added.
