Frontier Airlines flight attendants overwhelmingly voted to strike after the airline refused to negotiate with their union. Since the company changed its business model, flight attendants have faced financial and scheduling issues. With 99.6% of attendants backing the strike, management is under pressure to begin talks.
Last week, Frontier Airlines flight attendants, part of a major low-cost carrier, approved the strike authorization. They want the airline to address how the new business model affects their work. Although the airline is required to negotiate, it has consistently refused, leading to growing frustration.
Frontier’s recent cost-cutting model boosts profits but at the expense of its flight attendants. Employees now face tighter schedules and reduced pay. Consequently, flight attendants have united to demand the company address the negative effects of these changes.
To intensify pressure, the union will implement CHAOS (Create Havoc Around Our System), a strategy involving sudden and unpredictable strikes. This approach will cause disruptions while minimizing risks for the flight attendants. Therefore, the airline could experience delays, cancellations, and financial losses if management refuses to act.
The strike does not yet have a set date. However, the possibility of widespread disruption now hangs over Frontier Airlines. If management continues to avoid negotiations, passengers may soon face delays, rebookings, and cancellations. As a result, Frontier risks significant losses if they don’t address the union’s concerns soon.
