Horizon Air Flight Attendants Protest Wages Amid Contract Stalemate
What happened
Horizon Air flight attendants gathered in Anchorage to call for better wages and benefits. They have spent over two and a half years seeking a new contract without reaching an agreement on compensation. Jordan Gibson, a base representative, stated that management has not presented a compensation agreement that workers are willing to accept. The union claims Horizon flight attendants earn more than 40% less than their Alaska Airlines counterparts for performing similar duties.
