Horizon Air pilots accuse employer of ‘corporate greed’ as staff hold picket

Horizon Air pilots initiated a strike in Seattle, Washington, citing concerns regarding the airline's operational practices and financial stability. The union alleges a “pattern of mismanagement and corporate greed” has negatively impacted pilot compensation and working conditions at Horizon Air. Approximately 80 Horizon Air pilots are participating in the picketing action alongside members of the Teamsters Local 174. Negotiations between Horizon Air management and the union leadership have stalled, preventing a resolution to the dispute. Representatives from both sides remain engaged in discussions aimed at addressing the underlying issues driving the labor action.
