United Flight Attendants Vote Overwhelmingly In Favor of Strike
High-Stakes Negotiations
In a recent vote, flight attendants at United Airlines overwhelmingly supported authorizing a strike. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, which represents the flight attendants, announced that 9999 voted in favor of the strike, with 9021 voting against.
This vote comes amid ongoing contract negotiations between the union and United Airlines. The flight attendants are seeking improvements in pay, benefits, and working conditions.
Potential Impact
If a strike occurs, it could have a significant impact on United Airlines' operations. The airline has approximately 25,000 flight attendants, and a strike could lead to flight cancellations and delays.
The strike could also have a ripple effect on the travel industry, as it could lead to higher airfares and longer travel times for passengers.
Next Steps
The union and United Airlines are scheduled to meet again for negotiations on August 28, 2024. If an agreement is not reached, the flight attendants could go on strike as early as September 1, 2024.
