American Passenger-Service Workers Approve 5-Year Contract

American Airlines Group Inc. said a union representing 14,500 reservation agents and airport passenger-service workers approved a five-year contract that included “significant” pay raises.

The agreement provides an average initial increase of 30 percent, 2 percent raises at the end of the first and second years and 2.5 percent in each of the following two years, according to a statement on the Communications Workers of America website. The initial increase follows concessions that workers had given American while it was in bankruptcy.
