Southwest Airlines Co. and the Transport Workers Union Local 555 (TWU 555) have reached a Tentative Agreement for a new labor contract. TWU 555 represents nearly 18,000 Southwest Airlines® Ramp, Operations, Provisioning, and Cargo Agents.
“Our Ramp, Operations, Provisioning, and Cargo Agents help us deliver the Southwest experience to our Customers—from welcoming Customers as they board our planes, to handling all of the bags, to restocking aircraft galleys, to moving millions of pounds of cargo each year,” said Adam Carlisle, Vice President Labor Relations at Southwest Airlines. “This agreement rewards them for their hard work, and I’m grateful for the dedication shown by both negotiating committees as they worked to reach this agreement.”
TWU 555 will communicate details directly to its members about the agreement and the voting timeline. Since October 2022, nine Southwest® workgroups have ratified new agreements, and the contract status for all workgroups is available on SWAMedia.com.
