Pilots at US freighter airline Western Global have filed for mediation to assist in negotiations for a new contract. The move comes as tensions rise between the pilots and the airline over issues such as pay, working conditions, and job security.
The pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have expressed concerns about declining wages, increased workloads, and a lack of job stability. They are seeking improvements in these areas through the negotiation of a new contract.
Western Global has not yet issued a public statement regarding the mediation request.
