Today’s episode is a continuation of last week's SWAPA Number, 124. That's the number of CBA grievances currently open. Right now, there’s a three-digit backlog of open grievances waiting for arbitration because our Union and our Company can’t agree on what our CBA says. Ultimately, this week’s SWAPA Number is the reason SWAPA is pushing for a full rewrite in Contract 2020.If you have any feedback for us at all, please drop us a line at comm@swapa.org or tap here to send us a text.Follow us online:Twitter - https://twitter.com/swapapilotsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/swapa737
