Labor Relations

This unit oversees the MAC’s labor relations program, including negotiation and administration of 13 collective bargaining agreements with various unions. The unit works to maintain positive labor-management cooperation among all stakeholders and resolves labor disputes through each contract’s grievance process, which may include mediation and binding arbitration. This unit also provides advice and guidance to other MAC departments on employee disciplinary matters and on labor issues such as project labor agreement negotiations and prevailing wage enforcement. In addition, the unit provides advice on issues such as minimum wage, union organization of non-MAC airport employees and other labor issues. Alison Kelly is the labor relations manager.
