Dissatisfied United Airlines flight attendants are looking to replace their union. The employees are upset with their current union, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), because of a recent merger of the AFA with the Communication Workers of America. United Airlines is currently in a state of bankruptcy, which makes it an unusual time for a switch in union representation.
