"Flight Attendants Rally for Fair Wages and Contracts Across US Airports"

Flight attendants from major U.S. airlines, represented by three separate unions, held pickets and rallies at 30 airports to demand new contracts and higher wages, citing frustration over pilots receiving significant pay raises while their own wages have stagnated. The protests, organized by the Association of Flight Attendants, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, and the Transport Workers Union, are part of a national day of action and not a strike due to legal constraints. Airlines such as American, United, Alaska, and Southwest have responded with statements expressing willingness to negotiate and work towards agreements that benefit their flight attendants.
