NMB Certifies Vote at Allegiant: Flight Attendants Remain TWU United, Invincible
Washington, D.C. – TWU Local 577 proudly remains the union representing nearly 800 flight attendants at Allegiant Air, reaffirmed today by a majority of those voting, as certified by the National Mediation Board. Fighting back against a coordinated union-busting campaign and smear tactics waged by employer-supported front groups, Allegiant flight attendants banded together to ensure they remain represented by TWU, the union that’s ready to fight for them at the bargaining table.
“We couldn’t have done this without the incredible dedication of our volunteer organizing group,” said Steve Roberts, TWU’s Organizing Director. “They saw what was happening amongst their ranks and they came to us and did something about it. Now, it’s time we all come together to fight for the best contract possible.”
The union will continue to provide updates on upcoming negotiations with Allegiant management. Congratulations to Local 577 members on this important victory!
