Flight Attendants At Alaska Airlines Reject New Labor Agreement

Alaska Airlines faces further negotiations after its flight attendants rejected a tentative contract agreement. The cabin crew has been negotiating a deal for some time, even authorizing a strike earlier this year.

How are things going?

• Alaska Airlines flight attendants rejected a tentative agreement that offered an average pay increase of 32%. 92.4% of eligible voters participated, and 68% voted against the agreement.
• The union, which represents the flight attendants, plans to continue negotiations and address unresolved issues.
• The tentative agreement, reached in June after a year and a half of negotiations, included pay raises, retroactive pay, and compensation for reassignments.
• Since the majority of flight attendants rejected the agreement, the union will take additional steps to review and renegotiate the terms with the company.
