United Airlines flight attendants in Cleveland and nearly 20 other cities are out on the picket lines demanding "an industry-leading contract that gives flight attendants a share of the hefty profits their work produces for United" on Thursday.

The demonstration comes after United Airlines announced its Q3 revenue, which was nearly $15 billion. 

"As United Airlines rakes in billions, flying more than ever before, launching new destinations, and taking delivery of new aircraft, flight attendants are on the frontlines generating record profits without the pay and work rules to match," said organizers ahead of the picket.
