Flight Attendants at Alaska Airlines Vote 99.48% to Authorize a Strike

Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), voted 99.48% yes on strike authorization should management fail to agree to significant improvements.
“Our time is now!” said AFA Alaska President Jeffrey Peterson. “Alaska Flight Attendants today backed up our fight for an industry-leading contract with a 99.48% strike vote. And we’re out on the picket line demonstrating that we’re ready to do whatever it takes to get the contract we deserve. There’s no excuse: Alaska management has the money to buy another airline, they certainly have the money to invest in Flight Attendants. We have a simple message for management: Pay us, or CHAOS!”

This week, thousands of Flight Attendants from across the industry showed up in full force to make history. We stood in complete solidarity, leaving no room for doubt, and demanded the contracts we’ve rightfully earned. Our strong and united voice sent a powerful message to management industrywide that we are done being undervalued and underappreciated. We won’t tolerate their stall tactics and disrespect any longer. We stand firm and will do whatever it takes to get a contract with the pay and work rule improvements we deserve. Management can no longer ignore our demands or play games with our livelihoods. We’ve made it crystal clear that we won’t back down until our voices are heard and our contracts are secured.
