Equality at United – United Catering Workers Organizing for Equality, Safety & Respect!

United Airlines operates five inflight catering kitchens, employing over 2,700 workers.

These workers are the only non-managerial, frontline workers directly employed by United Airlines who do not have a union.

We Are United Airlines. We are Equal!

My best friend works as a gate agent for United and makes $30.47 per hour. I make $10.30. Winning a union is going to change my life.

I have over 40 relatives who work here, all of us from the island of Chuuk. I’m organizing a union to uplift our entire community.

My husband and I both work at United, but he has a union and I don’t. He is paid $30 per hour while I’m paid $12.14 per hour. We deserve to be treated equally!

Almost 80% of United’s 88,000 employees are unionized

including Pilots, Flight Attendants, Passenger Service Agents, and Mechanics.

Workers in United Catering kitchens are from over 60 different countries.

United CEO Oscar Munoz has worked to develop and maintain positive relations with the company’s labor unions.

In 2016, United settled contracts with most unionized work groups.

All of United’s employees deserve an equal chance to support and provide for their families with middle class wages and benefits.
