American Airlines flight attendants reject 17% pay hike, nearing strike

business

American Airlines flight attendants have unanimously turned down a 17% immediate pay hike and profit-sharing formula offered by the airline amid contract negotiations, edging closer to a strike [6]. The union, APFA, which represents over 23,000 flight attendants, argued the offer is insufficient given they haven't seen a pay raise since January 2019 and are seeking a 33% hike [2][3][8]. Both parties are scheduled to meet with federal mediators for a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement [5]. The National Mediation Board is reluctant to authorize a strike due to potential negative economic impacts and political pressures [5]. This follows several other airlines' recent labor disputes and contract negotiations [2].
