Flight attendants at United Airlines are going to the negotiating table today seeking contract improvements after enduring huge cuts in pay, quality of work life, healthcare and retirement for nearly seven years. This morning flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, are exercising the opportunity to negotiate for improvement for the first time since 1996.
"Today is full of hope. Flight attendants are committed to rebuilding our career and improving our lives," said Greg Davidowitch, AFA President at United. "Spirits are high as we begin negotiations for improvements that reflect the good work we do at United Airlines."
