Financial Data Linkage
Explore CWA-AFA’s financial reports and the United Airlines filing directory for available union receipts, expenditures, and transfers between affiliates. The master report explains how CWA, the CWA-AFA sector, and Master and Local Executive Council (MEC and LEC) filings fit together. These records do not provide a complete allocation of every carrier’s dues or representational costs.
United Flight Attendants ratified the agreement on May 12, 2026. It became effective May 31, with provisions implemented on the separate timetable in LOA 9. This archive preserves the completed bargaining cycle and its historical reviews; ratification did not put every provision into effect on the same day.

Agreement and Implementation References
CWA-AFA announced an interactive web version of the 2026–2031 agreement on October 22. It provides links to individual sections and subsections. The governing agreement and LOA 9 remain the basis for implementation timing; the dated implementation notices explain which changes have been announced as operational.

- October 22 announcement of the interactive agreement
- Earlier agreement reference — April 20 tentative-agreement text (PDF)
The hosted April reference preserves its tentative-agreement format; it has not been replaced or presented as a newly executed compilation. The May 12 ratification announcement and May 14 effectiveness and LOA 9 explanation establish the later context.
Implementation Updates
In guidance published October 22, CWA-AFA explained commuter-program provisions that the Joint Implementation Team had announced as implemented on October 16. The guidance covers qualifying use of other airlines and revenue tickets, with different eligibility and documentation requirements. It is not an announcement that every provision of the new agreement has been implemented.
Read the October 22 commuter-program guidance and its link to the full October 16 Joint Implementation Team notice. Consult the complete contractual provisions and implementation guidance rather than treating this summary as individual commuting advice.
