A preliminary agreement has been established for a new tentative contract between Teamsters Local 120 and the ultra low-cost carrier Sun Country Airlines, safeguarding the interests of over 700 flight attendants.
Negotiations for the contract with Sun Country commenced in 2019 and progressed to federal mediation in December 2023. In August of the previous year, Teamsters members voted overwhelmingly, with a 99 percent majority, to authorize a strike against Sun Country should negotiations extend into the current year.
The tentative agreement features an average wage increase of nearly 22 percent, enhanced company contributions to Teamsters retirement plans, and additional provisions to protect flight attendants scheduled to work during holidays. Flight attendants at Sun Country will have the opportunity to participate in a ratification vote in the upcoming weeks.
