United clinches long-sought deal with flight attendants union
United Continental has reached a deal for the first labour contract in its history that covers all flight attendants at the company, the union said Friday, a breakthrough after workers' protests and years of talks. The deal with union negotiators requires the approval of leaders of United's unit of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA before it formally becomes a "tentative agreement." It will then go to more than 20,000 in-flight crew members for a final vote. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Ratification would mark a victory for new CEO Oscar Munoz, who has sought new contracts and harmony with workers. A contract also would be an important step toward integrating United and Continental and reducing flight cancellations.<br/>
