Description
United Airlines flight attendants have announced their vote to move forward with plans to go on strike.
The announcement coincided with a demonstration at 20 different airports around the nation on Wednesday, including Tampa International Airport.
The flight attendants picketing at TPA said it's all about fairness. The airline, they say, has not negotiated to where it needs to be, leading them to authorize a strike for the first time in nearly two decades.
The decision comes on the heels of stalled negotiations. For the past three years, United flight attendants have been working without a new contract.
They want better pay, back pay, better retirement, job security and compensation for the time they spend on the ground between flights.
A resounding 99.9% of those who voted said yes to a strike.
