United Airlines, flight attendants reach labor deal for first raises since pandemic

If ratified by flight attendants, it would make United the last of the major carriers to secure a labor deal with cabin crew members since the Covid-19 pandemic ended.

United flight attendants last July rejected a previous labor deal that would have included immediate, 26% raises, their union said Thursday.

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, the flight attendants’ union, didn’t provide specific details about the deal but said it includes higher base pay, additional compensation for flight disruptions and new restrictions on overnight flight assignments.
