American Airlines extends two-year contract with 34,000 ground workers, including double-digit pay increases.

American Airlines has secured a two-year contract extension with unions representing 34,000 ground workers, including mechanics and baggage handlers. The agreement, which features double-digit pay increases, aims for stability through 2026. This follows recent contract ratifications for flight attendants and pilots, offering significant pay raises. The deal seeks to prevent a repeat of a 2019 lawsuit where American accused the unions of an illegal work slowdown during negotiations.
