United Airlines flight attendants rejected a proposed labor contract that would have raised pay by up to 45.6 over five years, according to Bloomberg. The contract was voted down by 71 of those casting ballots, according to the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. The union said the agreement fell short after years without raises, though it included an immediate 26.9 average pay increase, annual raises, and boarding compensation. United said the rejected agreement offered industry-leading pay and improvements, and reaffirmed its commitment to securing a fair contract for flight attendants. United remains the only major U.S. airline without a new post-pandemic contract or pay raises for non-union flight attendants. Both sides pledged to continue negotiations, with United noting it had set aside $561 million for ratification bonuses.
