Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:23:16 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — In their fight to use state-mandated sick leave protections, unionized Southwest flight attendants are taking their employer and the state of Colorado to court.In a lawsuit filed on Monday, the Transport Workers Union of America's Local 556 claims Colorado reached a backdoor agreement that exempts Southwest from the law — all without any airline employees present.

Harald Hartvig Jepsen is senior international advisor at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES).
