On Thursday, October 17th, we rallied on the front steps of United Headquarters to deliver our message loud and clear. United Flight Attendants are Ready to Strike!
Corporate greed has taken precedence over our quality of life for far too long. Management could end the games and agree to the Contract we have earned, but instead, they announce a $1.5 Billion Stock buyback (https://www.afacwa.org/united_stock_buybacks).
Meanwhile, Flight Attendants at United have not seen a raise in over three years through record-breaking travel and profits.
The lack of consideration for the Flight Attendants who make United fly is staggering. We are safety professionals, the face of United, and the backbone of this airline. We worked through the pandemic after years of austerity following 9/11 and massive consolidation. The improvements due now are significant.
We will continue to stand together, with one voice demanding what we deserve: A Contract NOW! They cannot divide us or wear us down. WE are UNITED. We will continue to build momentum as we fight for our future until we get the contract we have earned.
