Flight attendants picket outside SFO, part of nationwide action

Flight attendants across the nation walked the picket lines Tuesday in a show of solidarity as labor unions continue to negotiate with airline companies over compensation and pay.

San Francisco International Airport was one of 30 airports nationwide where flight attendants and their allies picketed. Since it was an informational action and not a strike, flights were not affected.

But a strike could happen somewhere down the road, the union said.

The flight attendants are seeking pay increases and compensation for their work during boarding.

Right now, they don’t get paid until the doors are closed and the flight takes off. Those at the largest airlines say they haven’t received pay increases since before the pandemic.
