American Airlines has a contract deal with flight attendants, and President Biden is happy about it
==========
American Airlines and the union representing its flight attendants have reached an agreement on a new contract, which includes pay raises. The deal covers 28,000 workers and is pending a union ratification vote. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants had previously rejected an American offer, but this new deal will put billions of additional dollars into compensation and work rules for the flight attendants. President Biden praised the agreement, stating that it avoids a strike that would have hurt the U.S. economy and consumers. The federal law covering the airline industry makes a strike nearly impossible unless federal mediators determine that more negotiations would be pointless. Biden highlighted the importance of strong unions and stated that when unions are strong, the nation is strong.
