WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 29, 2025) — Statement from Ken Diaz, president of the United Airlines chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), on the United tentative agreement vote:
“United Flight Attendants today voted to send a strong message to United Airlines management by rejecting a tentative agreement that didn’t go far enough to address the years of sacrifice and hard work to make the airline the success it is today. This is democracy in action.
“Flight Attendants need substantial improvements as soon as possible. Our union will survey members as quickly as possible to identify the key issues Flight Attendants are ready to fight to achieve in an agreement they want to ratify. We always said no matter the outcome of the vote, we will fight forward and that is what we will do with the power of 28,000 Flight Attendants and our whole union standing together.”
Over 92% of the eligible voters cast a ballot with 71% voting not to ratify the agreement.
