AFA-CWA United Flight Attendants Rally Across Multiple Cities

AFA-CWA Flight Attendants working at United Airlines held a one-day informational picket on March 19, which spanned the globe as they called for United to pay aviation’s first responders their fair share. Workers are fed up with management’s delay tactics at the bargaining table.

"United’s goal is to become the premier U.S. airline,” said Ken Diaz, United AFA-CWA President. “If CEO Scott Kirby wants to run the number one airline, Flight Attendants must be number one in compensation, benefits, and work rules. It’s time to get this contract done. We will continue to fight until we secure the contract we deserve.”

United Flight Attendants are calling for significant pay increases to lead the industry, schedule flexibility, job security, and retirement improvements. Workers voted overwhelmingly to strike if necessary. United Airlines climbed to $3.1 billion in profits in 2024.
