The Professional Flight Attendant’s Association said on Wednesday that the vast majority of individuals who cast a ballot as of late preferred providing the association the ability to call a strike. The association supported the vote with picketing at a few air terminals.
Association President Julie Hedrick said the vote tells the organization the board that airline attendants, who have not gotten raises starting around 2019, are “started up.” American chiefs, she said, “disregard this strike vote at their danger.”
American said, “We’re glad for the headway we’ve made in exchanges with the APFA, and we anticipate arriving at an arrangement that gives our airline stewards genuine and significant worth. We comprehend that a strike approval vote is one of the significant ways airline stewards express their longing to finish an arrangement.”
The vote doesn’t imply that a strike is inevitable or even logical. Government regulation makes it challenging for carrier associations to direct lawful strikes — they need bureaucratic arbiters to conclude that further talks would be silly, which seldom occurs. The president and Congress can likewise get involved to postpone or impede a strike.
Recently, American pilots confirmed an agreement that will raise normal compensation by over 40% for more than four years. Airline stewards are not supposed to procure that sort of increment, as they have less influence than pilots hard to find.
Other carrier associations are additionally pushing for new agreements. Pilots at Southwest Carriers and airline stewards at Joined Aircrafts intend to picket at air terminals on Thursday.
