ATLANTA — Southwest’s flight attendants are picketing nationwide, demanding changes to working conditions.
Several flight attendants picketed outside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Tuesday morning.
Their union said complaints include pay that only kicks in after boarding, and 24-hour, on-call shifts.
Southwest Airlines said it encourages employees to express their opinions and it does not expect flight disruptions.
