United flight attendants to conduct labor action
United Airlines flight attendants will picket and leaflet at the Honolulu Airport on Thursday as part of a systemwide day of action.
The action, conducted by members of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, will take place from 11 a.m to noon in front of the United check-in lobby.
The flight attendants are demanding that management increase staffing and stop planned staffing and service cuts. They also want management to fix payroll issues and ensure flight attendants have access to hotels in the event of severe weather and irregular operations.
