Passengers flying in and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Tuesday may be greeted by picketing flight attendants.
Workers from two airlines,and United, will be demonstrating outside of Terminals 3 and 4, as the unions for both airlines are demanding new contracts. They say they are fed up with the issues created by airline problems this past summer.
The union wants flight attendants to be paid for time worked, including when passengers are boarding and when flight attendants have to work outside hours originally scheduled – giving flight attendants control over their schedules when not at work, and providing access to food and a safe place to rest while on the job.
