AFA-CWA Flight Attendants with Alaska Airlines Ratify New Contract

Last week, AFA-CWA Flight Attendants working for Alaska Airlines voted overwhelmingly to ratify an industry-leading, three-year agreement. This new contract provides an immediate, double-digit wage increase, boarding pay, and retroactive pay for the 7,000 Flight Attendants. The contract was ratified with 91% member participation and 95% voting in favor of the agreement.

“This contract will immediately and significantly improve the lives of Alaska Flight Attendants,” said Jeffrey Peterson, AFA-CWA Alaska Master Executive Council President. “Alaska Flight Attendants’ solidarity pushed management to recognize our critical role in the safety and success of this airline. This contract also raises the foundation for the new joint Alaska-Hawaiian negotiations following the merger.”
