(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - After nearly three years of negotiations with the company, Piedmont Passenger Services Workers who are represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) have won a historic settlement totaling nearly $2 million in wages owed to Workers.

CWA Chief of Staff Sylvia Ramos, who led the settlement negotiations, said she was informed this was the largest award to CWA Passenger Services Members in the Union’s History.

During new contract negotiations in late 2024, the CWA Bargaining Team noticed errors with the flex-and-freeze and flex-and-progress adjustments made by the company.

To resolve these errors, Ramos placed immense pressure on the company to submit full and complete audits of all Employees - which the company dragged its feet on for months.

Ultimately, the audits revealed hundreds of Workers had been placed on the wrong step or were earning the wrong wage rates.

CWA President Claude Cummings, Jr. said he believes this settlement is the result of the Members’ mobilization efforts and resilience in the face of a lengthy bargaining process.
