SEATTLE -- Alaska Airlines flight attendants have rejected a tentative contract agreement that was reached in May by their union. The Association of Flight Attendants represents the airline's 2,400 flight attendants. The vote was 746 for the agreement and 1,169 against, the union said Tuesday. The Seattle-based airline said it's disappointed with the vote and will talk with the union and the National Mediation Board about the next step. "Our goal remains to achieve a collaborative agreement with the features Alaska needs to compete, grow and offer good jobs and a secure future," chairman Bill Ayer said in a statement. The flight attendants will continue working under their old contract as both sides resume negotiations, said union spokeswoman Corey Caldwell in Washington, D.C. "Alaska flight attendants have spoken," said Veda Schook, the union leader in Seattle. "Standing up in solidarity throughout our system, I am confident we will reach an agreement that protects our profession at Alaska Airlines." No date has been set for negotiations to resume, she said in a statement.
