Flexjet Sues NJASAP for ‘Intimidation’ in Decert Vote
Flexjet said its lawsuit against the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP) and NetJets pilot Jeffrey Stein will move forward now that a Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Common Pleas judge has denied the defendants’ request to dismiss the case on a technicality.
The complaint alleges that the NetJets pilot union “and its operatives” sent hundreds of “vulgar, threatening, and malicious mailings” to the homes of Flexjet company managers and employees who spoke up in support of a May 2018 union decertification election. “In at least one instance, a recipient called a fire department and explosives experts in response to receiving a box full of plain white envelopes with no return address,” Flexjet said. Although they were sent anonymously, a postal investigation revealed the identity of the sender.
Flexjet’s lawsuit seeks damages for these “acts of menacing and intimidation.” The postcard mailings occurred during a 28-day voting period when Flexjet pilots were voting on whether to decertify their union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Local 1108. Ultimately, the pilots voted 318 to 220 to reject union representation.
NJASAP said it could not comment on pending legal action.
