NEWARK, NJ — United Airline’s plan to buy back $1.5 billion of its stock – the first time the company will be allowed to do so since the coronavirus pandemic – is drawing criticism from unionized flight attendants, who are decrying the plan as a “sickness that hurts workers and consumers alike.”
United, which is based in Chicago and operates a hub at Newark Airport in New Jersey, announced plans for the buyback on Tuesday.
