Southwest in possible labour agreement

Southwest Airlines has reached a tentative agreement with the flight attendants union. Southwest hopes to finalize a multiyear contract that would increase efficiency and give flight attendants a pay raise. Leaders of the union, which represents over 12,000 Southwest flight attendants, voted this Thursday to put the agreement out for a vote from its entire body of members. The flight attendants union’s contract was supposed to be renewed more than two years ago. The deal with flight attendants could affect talks between unions and other airlines in similar negotiations with United.
