Southwest Airlines flight attendants cheer as passing cars honk to support them at Houston’s Hobby Airport September 18. The flight attendants, members of Transport Workers Union Local 556, have been negotiating for 16 months for a new contract. Signs refer to one of their demands—an end to unpaid overtime. The company requires the attendants to clean the planes for free between flights. The airport action was called in response to Southwest’s insistence that the union call an end to its public protests.
