Voting Information

The United Flight Attendant Defined Contribution Plan Agreement Ballot is being conducted electronically using the telephone or Internet.  To use the electronic ballot system, you must enter both an ID number and a PIN. Your PIN is included in with the voting instructions package sent to your home.

All active Members in Good Standing on the count date who have cast their ballot will have their vote counted.  Members who are on a leave of absence or voluntary furlough beyond 90 days must continue to pay dues beyond their leave obligation (90 days) in order to remain active with the Union and be eligible to vote.  You must pay any outstanding dues before the count date or your vote will not be counted.  Approval by a simple majority of valid ballots cast by Members eligible to vote on the count date will determine if the ballot passes.
