Summary
Flight attendants from major airlines in the US, including United, Alaska, American, and Southwest, picketed at airports to demand higher wages and better compensation for their work. They are seeking similar improvements to those won by airline pilots in recent labor deals. The flight attendants' unions represent over 100,000 flight attendants in total. While there is optimism for agreements to be reached, some flight attendant unions have approved strike authorizations, and negotiations are ongoing through federal mediation.
