United AFA Strike Vote Opened Yesterday
The United Airlines flight attendant union leadership has voted to authorize a strike vote, which opened yesterday with thousands of votes cast in the first 24 hours.
The strike vote is being held to determine whether flight attendants are willing to authorize a strike if an agreement on a new contract cannot be reached.

Reasons for the Strike Vote
Flight attendants are frustrated by several issues, including:
- Pay and benefits
- Working conditions
- Staffing shortages
The union has been negotiating with United Airlines for months, but no agreement has been reached.
