Flight attendants to rally in Atlanta over pay, benefits
ATLANTA - Hundreds of flight attendants are expected to gather at a conference on Monday to rally for better pay and benefits.
The rally, part of the 51st annual Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) Board of Directors convention, will take place in front of the Hilton Atlanta on Courtland Street on Monday afternoon.
The union says they will call out Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines for "profiting off of wage inequality."
The demonstration comes shortly after flight attendants with Delta's subsidiary Endeavor Air sent a letter to CEO Ed Bastian asking the carrier to end its tier system and demanding pay and benefits equal to the company's other flight attendants.
