(MINNEAPOLIS) – On Friday, November 15 [today], Sun Country flight attendants represented by Teamsters Local 120 will engage in an informational picket at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to demand the carrier come to terms on a fair contract or face a potential nationwide strike. Sun Country flight attendants voted by an overwhelming 99 percent to authorize a strike against the company.
“Teamsters flight attendants at Sun Country have had to go through a global pandemic and record-setting inflation, all without a raise in pay,” said Tom Erickson, President of Local 120 and Teamsters Central Region International Vice President. “If Sun Country doesn’t want to listen to us at the bargaining table, we will be forced to take action. We will not rest until Sun Country flight attendants get the contract they deserve.”
In May 2023, Sun Country Teamsters voted to reject a tentative agreement with the carrier due to substandard compensation and work rules. Since December 2023, negotiations have taken place under the supervision of the National Mediation Board.
