EPA president Deryck Richardson confirmed the association's satisfaction with the process and the outcome.

“We consulted with our membership and they agreed to accept the proposal. We have committed to continue to work with the AATT to close off the 2021-2024 period and 2025-2028, ensuring that we can have agreements covering a current period,” according to the release.

Richardson also acknowledged the professionalism displayed by AATT’s negotiating team, led by industrial relations consultant Noel Robinson and human resource manager Caron Webster.

He singled out Newton "for stepping in and contributing significantly to us coming to the agreement.”

With the new wage increase, AATT said its ongoing mission to maintain high safety and security standards at its facilities while ensuring employee welfare remains a top priority.

The deal follows months of industrial concerns within TT’s aviation sector, during which pilots and other airline employees voiced dissatisfaction over stalled wage talks and job security issues.
