United Airlines reached an \u201cindustry-leading\u201d tentative labor deal for its 28,000 flight attendants, their union said Friday.<\/p>\n
The deal includes \u201c40% of total economic improvements\u201d in the first year and retroactive pay, a signing bonus, and quality of life improvements, like better scheduling and on-call time, the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA said.<\/p>\n
The union did not provide further details about the deal.<\/p>\n
United flight attendants have not had a raise since 2020.<\/p>\n
The cabin crew members voted last year to authorize the union to strike if a deal wasn\u2019t reached. They had also sought federal mediation in negotiations.<\/p>\n
U.S. flight attendants have pushed for wage increases for years after pilots and other work groups secured new labor deals in the wake of the pandemic. United is the last of the major U.S. carriers to get a deal done with its flight attendants.<\/p>\n
The deal must still face a vote by flight attendants, and contract language will be finalized in the coming days, United said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
