Alaska Air flight attendants resume contract negotiations, Seattle Times reports
Adds details, background throughout
Nov 29 (Reuters) -Flight attendants at Alaska Airlines ALK.N resumed contract negotiations with the carrier last week on a revised proposal, Seattle Times reported on Friday.
Thereport, however, did not provide any details on the negotiations.
The Association of Flight Attendants rejected a three-year tentative labor agreement in August, saying it would survey members to determine key issues.
Flight attendants in the United States are usually paid an hourly rate after the cabin doors close, not including the time taken to board passengers.
The rejected offer consisted of an average pay hike of 32% and was the first agreement to make boarding pay legally binding for unionized flight attendants.
Alaska Airlines and the union did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments.
