United Airlines Baggage And Check-in Workers Reject Contract As Members Rebel Against Their Union

Pointify is tracking this devaluation for the points-and-miles community.

United’s largest IAM-represented work groups have rejected a proposed contract, including baggage, ramp, check-in, customer service, and load-planning workers. The vote is as much a rebuke of the union as the airline, with members objecting to healthcare costs, scope, retirement, scheduling protections, outsourcing risk, and raises they believe fall short once the deal stretches to 2031.
