"Alaska Airlines Flight Attendants Picket for Livable Wages and Fair Contracts"

Alaska Airlines flight attendants are demanding better contracts, including industry-leading wages and being paid for their entire time on duty. They claim that many are living below the poverty level and going without food. 99% of the flight attendants have voted to authorize a strike, and negotiations have deadlocked, leading to the possibility of a "chaos strike" if their demands are not met within a 30-day cooling period. The airline has stated that they have been offering industry-leading pay and have closed multiple tentative agreements, but the flight attendants remain determined to fight for their rights.
