Feb 28 (Reuters) - Alaska Air ALK.N flight attendants have ratified a new three-year labor contract, a union representing the workers said on Friday.
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, the union representing the attendants at the Seattle-based carrier, said that 95% of the votes cast supported the new agreement.
The ratified agreement would provide attendants with pay increases ranging between 18.6% and 28.3%, boarding pay, 25 months of retroactive pay and two additional raises over the contract's duration, among other benefits, the union said.
In August, the workers had rejected a three-year tentative agreement, which was the first to legally bind boarding pay for unionized flight attendants.
Alaska Airlines did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
