Just in time for summer travel, Southwest Airlines has made an agreement with its workers.
Flight attendants and mechanics were notified over the weekend of an agreement after weeks of contract negotiations.
In March, they picketed outside of the Dallas Love Field Airport for better pay and working conditions.There are many steps in this process for a new contract, but we know an agreement has been made.Southwest Airlines flight attendants and mechanics received a notice negotiations between its workers’ union and the Dallas-based company have resulted in an agreement.
The union's prior contract expired in 2018, but discussions kept getting stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple systemwide meltdowns. An email was sent out to the nearly 19,000 Southwest Airlines flight attendants, part of the Transport Workers Union Local 556. For the first two weeks of June, the final contracts will be presented and reviewed, but the details can’t be revealed until they’re finalized. "This comes on the heels of the meltdown in the December/Christmas/New Year period. So you can imagine the airline is eager to not have another PR nightmare.
"This extensive negotiation looks messy, but doesn’t impact travelers at the end of the day," Keyes said.
