Drug & Alcohol Testing Pay

Not Having a Union Costs Us $$$

Union Flight Attendants don’t just negotiate for pay through their hourly rate. They can also negotiate for compensation on routine aspects of our career, like drug and alcohol testing pay.

At union carriers like United and American, Flight Attendants get paid when they have to undergo federally-mandated random drug and alcohol tests.

“Small” things like drug and alcohol testing pay add up and make a difference in our paychecks. Without our union, we don’t have the chance to bargain, which means we can’t even fight for these pay provisions – we’re leaving money on the table. Union Flight Attendants bargain for things like out-of-base parking reimbursement, expedited passport renewal fee reimbursement, suitcase replacements, and more.

This is the hidden cost of working without a Contract – without our union, we’re on our own.
