Flight Attendants and allies recently picketed at nearly 20 airports worldwide to demand United Airlines management remove concessions and deliver the industry-leading contract they’ve earned. The New York City AFL-CIO Central Labor Council joined their Union - the Association of Flight Attendants-Communications Workers of America (AFA-CWA), at LaGuardia Airport, standing in solidarity for fair wages, improved working conditions and recognition of their vital role as aviation's first responders. United Airlines reported record profits of $3.1 billion in 2024. However, Flight Attendants' pay continues to lag behind competitors. The AFA-CWA is calling for significant double-digit base pay increases, compensation for boarding time, retroactive pay, schedule flexibility, job security, and retirement improvements. United Flight Attendants have overwhelmingly voted - by 99.99% - to authorize a Strike if necessary, underscoring the commitment of United flight attendants to secure the contract they deserve.
