New York CNN —American Airlines’ flight attendants’ union wants permission from the government to go on strike in 30 days.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents more than 23,000 members at American has not overcome any of the many legal hurdles it needs to conquer before the union could strike.
But even if the flight attendants win their request to have the clock start ticking towards a strike 30 days from now, a strike then is not likely.
But it’s possible, and in the case of American Airlines, likely, that Congress would act to block a strike.
Last month, flight attendants at Southwest Airlines won an immediate 20% raise, with retroactive pay.
