UA flight attendants threaten global ‘chaos’ walkouts
In protest of losing most of their pensions, United Airlines flight attendants threatened “CHAOS” strikes at airports around the globe Thursday.
The “Create Havoc Across Our System” (CHAOS) strikes are unannounced random walkouts so airlines and passengers will not know which flights will be affected.
Dozens of UA flight attendants protested at airports in Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Frankfurt, Germany and 14 U.S. locations Thursday. While it did not disrupt any flights, their union warned of larger-scale strikes if demands are not met to rework the pension policy.
United flight attendants are facing loss of up to 70% of their pension, in a plan submitted by United and approved with the bankruptcy court, to terminated $6.6 billion of retirement obligations to 119,000 current and former flight attendant union employees, as a step to emerging from bankruptcy.
More United news:
- United announced that starting August a $2 per bag curbside skycap check-in fee will apply. This move is expected to save the airline millions of dollars by not having to pay a contractor for the service.
- Members of the union representing 20,000 ground workers at have ratified a five-year contract which saves United $176 million a year, the International Association of Machinists reported on Thursday.
