Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.
Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 578 members who work as flight attendants at Flight Services International have ratified a new five-year contract.
The agreement includes substantial wage increases, more vacation time, improved sick leave and other major quality-of-life improvements.
“Flight Attendants at TWU Local 578 voted massively to ratify a new contract that immediately offers life-changing raises, approaching 50 percent over five years,” said TWU International President John Samuelsen. “This is why workers form unions. I’m proud of the hard work our negotiators put into getting an agreement that offers real improvements for our members at FSI.”
