Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants Picket and Plan Strike Vote

Alaska Airlines flight attendants held a protest outside the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, threatening to authorize unannounced strikes if their demands for a meaningful pay raise are not met. The flight attendants are seeking their first significant pay increase in nearly a decade after failed negotiations. Alaska Airlines, which recently announced plans to acquire Hawaiian Airlines, stated that it is continuing negotiations and does not expect any disruption to its operations. Flight attendants will vote on whether to authorize a strike from January 8 to February 13, which would be the first strike-authorization vote since 1993.

UAW Moves Closer to Strike Vote at Detroit Automakers

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has set a deadline of August 24 for its members to vote on authorizing strikes at the Detroit Three automakers if a new contract deal is not reached before the current agreement expires in about 30 days. UAW President Shawn Fain expressed frustration with the lack of progress in negotiations with General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis, urging members to approve the strike authorization to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. The union is seeking improved pay and benefits, an end to the two-tier pay system, and inclusion of workers at joint-venture battery plants in the contracts. The automakers have emphasized the need for flexibility as the industry shifts to electric vehicles. President Joe Biden has called for a fair agreement before the contracts expire. The chances of a strike are estimated to be greater than 50%.

"UAW Members Prepare for Strike as Contract Talks Progress"

The United Auto Workers (UAW) is expected to authorize a strike vote as negotiations continue with Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis. The vote, although largely seen as a formality, carries more significance this year due to heated rhetoric. UAW leaders are calling for a fair contract that includes sharing profits, ensuring a just transition to electric vehicles, and resuming benefits. The automakers argue for cost control during the EV transition and competition with non-union operations. President Joe Biden has urged both sides to reach a fair agreement. The strike authorization vote is expected to be held next week, but it does not guarantee a strike will occur.

United Airlines Pilots Union Nears Strike Amid Contract Negotiation Stalls.

The United Airlines pilots union has unanimously authorized a strike vote after months of negotiations over pilots' contracts. The strike vote does not necessarily mean that a strike will occur, but if it does, it could result in significant financial losses and disruptions for passengers. United Airlines has offered its pilots an industry-leading deal and is actively working with the union to reach an agreement. Passengers should stay informed about the situation and make alternative plans if necessary.

Airline Pilots' Unions Consider Strike Authorization Vote

United Airlines pilots union has voted unanimously to authorize a strike vote as negotiations for better pay and working conditions have moved slowly. The strike vote comes weeks after United Airlines pilots picketed major airports across the nation, demanding pay increases. Unions representing Southwest Airlines and American Airlines pilots have each authorized a strike this summer, demanding better conditions from their respective management. The pilots are looking to match or beat the deal that Delta Air Lines reached with its pilots earlier this year, which raised pay rates by 34% over four years.
