While some hurdles remain, all four airlines are negotiating with their flight attendants and one union says a holiday strike is on the table.
Take the recent writers' strike, which shut down movie and television production. It was a major job action, but its impact was felt mostly by people in the industry.
Over the next 12 months the cupboards periodically might go a bit bare, but the return of late-night comedy shows, game shows and other quick-to-produce programming will mostly cover the gaps. "This strike-authorization vote represents an important step in our fight for an industry-leading agreement," the union said in a news release."Your negotiations team will return to the bargaining table with a clear message to management that American Airlines flight attendants are fired up and ready for our contract."
The airline's flight attendants held a picket in February outside Southwest's annual employee rally in Las Vegas. TWU 556 has made its cause public, with a Change.org petition that lays out some of the union's demands.
