Flight Dispatchers at Breeze Airways voted Tuesday to join the Transport Workers Union of America – the latest group of workers to join America’s largest airline workers union.
“The TWU is continuing to grow across the country as airline workers see the benefit of joining a fighting union,” said TWU International President John Samuelsen. “The battle now shifts to bargaining table for our Flight Dispatchers at Breeze Airways to win a critical first contract that improves the lives of workers and their families.”
The Utah-based Dispatchers join the growing ranks of TWU Flight Dispatchers across the country. The TWU currently represents Flight Dispatchers at Air Wisconsin, Alaska Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Envoy Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, Horizon Airlines, Kalitta Airlines, Omni Airlines, PSA Airlines, Republic Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines and UPS Airlines.
Breeze Airways Flight Dispatchers chose to join the TWU so that every worker has a voice in decisions that affect day-to-day operations and the company’s future. Breeze is a low-cost airline that began operations in 2021.
Flight Dispatchers at Breeze said they voted to join the TWU to improve their working conditions, negotiate more manageable schedules, improve safety protocols, and increase staffing levels.
Tuesday’s vote of support in the National Mediation Board election is the latest TWU organizing victory for airline workers. In 2025, the TWU has successfully organized Flight Dispatchers at Avelo Airlines, Shuttle Bus Operators for a Delta Air Lines subsidiary, Fuelers at PrimeFlight in Orlando, and Flight Instructors at PSA Airlines.
“The work on behalf of our Flight Dispatchers at Breeze Airways is just beginning, now we will begin negotiating a contract that increases pay, benefits, and working conditions,” said TWU Organizing Director Angelo Cucuzza.
