American Airlines flight attendants have approved a five-year labor deal, with raises of up to 20.5%. This ends a contentious negotiation and a strike threat. The contract was approved by 87% of flight attendants, providing immediate wage increases and retroactive pay. This is a relief for American Airlines and a win for workers amidst rising living costs.

United Airlines and Alaska Airlines are still in negotiations with their flight attendants’ unions. Other industries, like the auto industry and Hollywood, have also seen higher pay in new contracts. Boeing workers are currently voting on a new contract with 25% raises, potentially facing a strike if the deal is rejected.
