Air Canada also voted 99% this week to authorize strike. Reforms in the air travel sector coming?
As someone who has been burned by their dumbass “hide the baggage fee and charge $25 less than your competitors” strategy, fuck United. I filter them out whenever I’m looking for flights.
Almost all the airlines are doing that these days.
There was a time when United was employee owned. What happened?
Capitalism
In so many instances employee owned does not mean what it says. It can be as little as each employee getting one nonvoting share.
The United flight attendants—who are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA)—voted 99.99%, with 90.21% of members participating, to greenlight a work stoppage unless they win concessions including a double-digit raise, more schedule flexibility, improved work rules, job security, and retirement benefits.
You can’t get 99.99% of people to agree the sky is blue. United Airlines must be royally fucking their employees to get that kind of united opposition.
