United Airlines flight attendants based in Guam have, unsurprisingly, joined their counterparts nationwide in demanding negotiations continue as the union and the airline have not agreed on a new contract. Day of Action The United Airlines Master Executive Council (MEC) of the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) declared March 19 as a ‘Day of Action,’ with the motto of “No Concessions, Contract now!” In a statement on March 13, the United Airlines MEC of the AFA-CWA said that the carrier’s flight attendants have consistently carried out their promises to the airline, ensuring the safety and well-being of its passengers. “Our role as Aviation’s First Responders is vital, and we are fighting for that recognition in these negotiations.
We have earned essential economic and quality-of-life improvements; it’s past time the company delivers on that.” According to Rsei Isim, the president of Council 65, representing the airline’s island-based cabin crew members, who spoke to Guam-based Pacific Daily News , United Airlines has around 250 flight attendants based at Guam Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport (GUM).
United Airlines flight attendants are upset over the pace of contract negotiations - and are going to make a global display of unity on December 14. Preparing a CHAOS strike A negotiation update from the carrier’s MEC of the AFA in December 2024 invited flight attendants to register for the Gearing Up to Strike (GUTS) list, enrolling themselve.
