United and Southwest Airlines flight attendants protested Tuesday at Midway and O'Hare.
Chris Perry, a spokesperson for Southwest Airlines, said it will continue to negotiate with Local 556 in the mediation process and encourages its employees to "express their opinions."
United Airlines flight attendants also picketed outside airports across the country demanding much of the same. "The company is not working with the union to get these problems or issues resolved," Pejas said. "We just want the company to sit at the table and address these issues with us because they keep saying they are going to hire more manpower to get these issues resolved but the fact of the matter is we're not seeing that."
