Aeromexico Attendants Accept Pact, End Strike
Flight attendants for Mexico’s largest airline accepted a new contract, ending a two-day strike that stranded thousands of passengers.
The new contract will raise wages 9.5%. Aeromexico had initially offered a 6.5% increase, while the union had sought 30%.
