It is the first time since the 2005 bankruptcy negotiations that flight attendants at United voted on strike authorization, it added.
Flight attendants at United Airlines have voted in favor of a strike authorization, the Association of Flight Attendants -CWA said Wednesday.Over 28,000 flight attendants of the Chicago-based carrier affiliated with the AFA have been negotiating for a double-digit base pay increase and higher pay for time at work – including on-ground duties, retroactive pay, schedule flexibility and work rule improvements.
Last year, United’s flight attendants filed for federal mediation through the National Mediation Board . Even though the strike is authorized, the flight attendants cannot walk off the job until they’re granted permission from the board after it determines that both parties are at a standstill and further negotiations would not be productive.Nvidia employees often work 7 days a week until 2 a.m. -- but here's why few of them leave
