Flight attendants from across the United States have united in a significant labor action, picketing at over 30+ major airports to demand better pay, improved working conditions, and new contracts. Unions representing more than 100,000 flight attendants are leading these efforts, with rallies and informational pickets held in key locations including San Francisco, North Texas, and Chicago O'Hare Airport, as part of a global day of action. Despite the widespread action, flight schedules, particularly at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), are not expected to be disrupted. This movement, supported by various lawmakers and public figures, highlights the flight attendants' grievances over what they describe as corporate greed, inadequate pay, and unsafe working conditions amidst soaring airline profits since 2019. The protests mark a coordinated effort by flight attendants from 24 airlines, including United, Southwest, and American, as they continue to negotiate for fair contracts.
