American Airlines Flight Attendants Brace for Potential Strike

The American Airlines flight attendants union has advised its members to prepare for a potential strike as negotiations with the company remain unresolved, particularly over wage increases and retro pay. The National Mediation Board may soon declare an impasse, initiating a 30-day cooling-off period after which a strike could occur. The union is considering targeted disruptions rather than a full strike, but financial constraints are a concern for flight attendants. The outcome could influence ongoing contract negotiations at other airlines.

American Airlines Flight Attendants Prepare for Strike Over Pay Dispute

American Airlines flight attendants are preparing for a potential strike after six days of unsuccessful negotiations over pay disputes. The National Mediation Board may call for a final attempt to reach an agreement before declaring an impasse, which would initiate a 30-day cooling-off period before a strike. Flight attendants have not received a raise since 2019 and are demanding fair compensation amid inflation and lower wages compared to Delta and Southwest. The union is urging members to brace for a strike, although a full strike is unlikely due to financial constraints.

Flight Attendants' Strike Requests Denied by US Mediators and Government

The National Mediation Board has denied the request of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) to release American Airlines flight attendants from mediation, preventing them from going on strike. The APFA and management have been in negotiations for a new contract, with the union seeking significant pay raises while management offers marginal increases. The union is frustrated with the lack of progress and accuses the company of stonewalling. The airline industry's challenging business environment and the availability of a large pool of flight attendant applicants contribute to the management's desire to keep labor costs down. Negotiations are expected to continue.

"Christmas Chaos: American Airlines Flight Attendants on the Verge of Strike"

American Airlines flight attendants have requested to be released from negotiations in order to potentially strike, citing dissatisfaction with the airline's economic offer. The National Mediation Board will determine if further negotiations are likely to be constructive. While the union has suggested a possible strike over Christmas, it is unlikely to happen. The board, which includes appointees by President Biden, may delay a decision to avoid a political hot potato. The airline claims progress in negotiations and stands ready to reach an agreement. Union officers' upcoming re-election and the desire for higher pay may be factors in the dispute. Waiting for United's flight attendants to strike a better agreement may be a more strategic move for American Airlines flight attendants.

FedEx Pilots Reject Tentative Deal, Paving Way for Supervised Talks

FedEx pilots have rejected a tentative contract deal with the company, leading to the reopening of negotiations likely under the supervision of the National Mediation Board. The reasons for the rejection were not specified by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which represents 6,000 FedEx pilots. The rejected deal included a 30% pay increase and a 30% increase to the pilots' legacy pensions. This comes as U.S. unions, benefiting from rebounding demand and a shortage of pilots, have gained increased bargaining power in negotiations.

Southwest Airlines Pilots Seek Strike Authorization from Federal Government

Southwest Airlines pilots have requested the National Mediation Board to release them from negotiations, which would allow them to go on strike. The pilots are frustrated with the lack of progress in their contract negotiations, while pilots at other airlines have been receiving significant raises. The National Mediation Board may grant the request, but it is not automatic, and a cooling-off period would follow before a strike could occur. The outcome of the bargaining process at Southwest Airlines remains uncertain.

Southwest Airlines Pilots Vote to Authorize Strike.

Southwest Airlines pilots, represented by the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, have voted to authorize a strike with 99% of pilots in favor. The union has been in labor negotiations with the airline for over three years. However, a strike is still months or years away and would require approval from federal regulators. The vote is a negotiating move to show the company how disgruntled pilots are after negotiating since August 2020.
