United Flight Attendants Reject Tentative Agreement, Demand Improvements

United Airlines Flight Attendants Reject Tentative Agreement

WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 29, 2025) — A significant decision was made today as United Airlines flight attendants, part of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), chose to reject a proposed agreement. Ken Diaz, president of the United Airlines chapter of the AFA, emphasized the collective message sent to the airline's management.

"United Flight Attendants today voted to send a strong message to United Airlines management by rejecting a tentative agreement that didn’t go far enough to address the years of sacrifice and hard work to make the airline the success it is today. This is democracy in action," stated Diaz.

With an impressive voter turnout of over 92%, a substantial 71% voted against ratifying the agreement. The union plans to conduct a survey among its members to pinpoint the critical issues that need addressing in future negotiations. Diaz assured, "Flight Attendants need substantial improvements as soon as possible. Our union will survey members as quickly as possible to identify the key issues Flight Attendants are ready to fight to achieve in an agreement they want to ratify. We always said no matter the outcome of the vote, we will fight forward and that is what we will do with the power of 28,000 Flight Attendants and our whole union standing together."

The Association of Flight Attendants represents 55,000 members and has been at the forefront of advocating for the rights and conditions of flight attendants for over 79 years. The union, a part of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), AFL-CIO, continues to influence the aviation industry significantly. For more information, visit www.afacwa.org.
