JetBlue (JBLU) Flight Attendants Seek Union Representation
Zacks Investment Research | Dec 06, 2017 08:36PM ET
Per media reports, JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:JBLU) flight attendants expressed their interest in holding a union representation election after having felt exploited by the company.
The attendants look for an improvement in wages, the ability to defend themselves against unfair charges as well as take actions and voice opinion in case JetBlue merges with another airline.
JetBlue responded by saying that it respects its crew members’ right to consider a third-party proposal and hopes for a discussion on how to enhance their direct relationship so as to address the needs of its employees in a better manner.
JetBlue attendants have joined the Transport Workers Union (“TWU”) of America, which filed paperworks with the National Mediation Board to conduct an election, representing approximately 4,800 members of their workforce. The voting is expected in January with approval from the National Mediation Board and signatures collected from more than 50% of the flight attending staff.
