“Extract every last dollar” | Alaska Airlines tentatively agrees "record contract" with flight attendant employees

Alaska Airlines struck a tentative agreement with a union representing over of its 6,500 flight attendants on Friday, with the labor group describing it as a “record contract.”

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA for Alaska Airlines did not share any details of the agreement, which it plans to finalize over the coming days before presenting it to the Master Executive Council (MEC).

The union hailed the actions of its members for pushing for a better contract. “Your actions over the last two years of bargaining, including gaining support from lawmakers for our right to strike, ensured we had the leverage to extract every last dollar from Alaska Airlines management,” it told its members.

It is not clear exactly what is included in the new contract for the flight attendants.
