Union Says The Grinch Is Negotiating With UAL FAs As Holiday Travel Begins
United Airline flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants - CWA (AFA), will picket at airports around the world December 17 calling on United to finish its merger with Continental Airlines.
Five years later, United management still fails to negotiate a fair contract even within a period of historic profits.
"With a busy holiday travel season underway, passengers flying United suffer under the inefficiency of its fractured three-part operation," said AFA International President Sara Nelson.
"It's been five years, and now five holiday seasons since United Airlines initiated the merger. United flight attendants are still without a joint contract, and work another holiday season without sharing in the profits they help create. A joint contract provides flight attendants, the airline and its passengers with the stability of a fully operational airline."

- Boston (BOS) Terminal B at United Ticket Counter, 11:45 am - 1 pm
- Chicago (ORD) Terminal 1 United Departures, 11 am - 12:30 pm
