American Airlines Flight Attendants File for Mediation; Systemwide Picketing Continues

(Euless, TX) — On Tuesday, April 4th, 2023, American Airlines Flight Attendants, represented by the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), will continue systemwide informational picketing events at nine Flight Attendant bases across the United States. The Union has passed proposals on every section of our Contract and invoked the services of the National Mediation Board (NMB) by filing for federal mediation, the next step to reach an agreement, as outlined by Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act.

“Flight Attendants have not received a raise or any cost of living increase in over four years, while the cost of living in our crew bases is skyrocketing,” said Julie Hedrick, National President of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. “We deserve significant increases in compensation and improvements to how we are scheduled. It is time for management to bring these negotiations to a close.”
