United Airlines and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA announced a new tentative agreement that if ratified will provide improved wages, better scheduling and other improvements for United’s 30,000 flight attendants.
The new agreement includes immediate raises upon ratification and wage rates that reach $100 per hour by the end of the agreement. It also includes boarding pay, new pay for long gaps between flights and a signing bonus for every flight attendant worth a total of $740 million.
The tentative agreement is subject to approval by the AFA’s Master Executive Council, including all Local Presidents. If they approve, the tentative agreement will be put out for ratification by the airlines’ flight attendants. If ratified, the new contract would become amendable after five years.
