CLEVELAND (WJW) – United Airlines flight attendants will announce if a strike will take place at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Wednesday. 

The flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, will announce the results of their strike authorization vote, according to a press release.

This strike would be the first that flight attendants at United Airlines have voted on since the 2005 bankruptcy negotiations.

The recent strike vote has moved negotiations forward for pay increases, retroactive pay, schedule flexibility, job security, retirement and more at American, Alaska, Southwest, and other airlines, according to the release. 

The strike vote will be announced at the Cleveland airport and at other airports nationwide at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

According to the release, United flight attendants filed for federal mediation over eight months ago and have been working under an amendable contract for nearly three years.
