Judge Philip Gutierrez of the United States District Court for the Central District of California Granted Preliminary Approval for a Proposed Settlement by United Airlines with a Group of Its Former Flight Attendants.
This was in response to a class action lawsuit filed by the crew members, who accused the airline of violating the California Labor Code. The settlement provides for a total payment of US$ 53.5 million to the former workers and their legal representatives, as reported by the legal site LAW360.
According to the lawsuit, the requirements of Section 226 of the California Labor Code required that the wage statements issued by United Airlines specified the total number of hours worked, the applicable hourly rates during the pay period, as well as the employer’s physical address.
This means that the wage documents from United Airlines had to provide full details on all hours worked and relevant rates applicable throughout the pay period, along with the employer’s physical address for the document to be valid.

Former flight attendants will be awarded US$ 4,903 each, while the California Employment and Workforce Development Agency will receive 75% of that amount. The final hearing for approval of the settlement will take place on June 16, and all parties involved are eagerly awaiting the outcome.
It’s Almost Time for Betim Airport (MG) to Start Resuming Its Works Soon! The City in Minas Gerais Is Preparing to Receive Major Improvements, Bringing More Benefits to the Local Community
The fifth airport in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, the “Inhotim Aerodrome,” is about to restart its works to be inaugurated in 2025. A tribute to the largest open-air museum in the world, the Inhotim Institute, located in the neighboring city of Brumadinho, this new airport was announced in 2018 and is eagerly awaiting preparations for its opening.
The new airport in Betim, to be built in the Greater Belo Horizonte area, promises to be a significant achievement for the city. The main focus of this project will be cargo aviation, which will benefit from the various industrial hubs in the area. Mayor Vittorio Medioli reported that the investors responsible for the project intend to start work in the second half of this year. This important infrastructure is expected to bring significant benefits to the region and make Betim the 5th airport in Greater BH, alongside the Carlos Prates, Pampulha, Lagoa Santa, and Confins airports.
Betim Airport is preparing to welcome its first planes in 2025. The Municipal Executive is working hard to ensure that the necessary interventions proceed, including the mobilization of the construction site, drainage galleries, and the removal of four electricity transmission towers. Additionally, a request for environmental licensing has been submitted for vegetation removal.
With a length of 1,800 meters and a width of 45 meters, the runway will accommodate aircraft like the Airbus A321neo and Boeing 737 MAX. The city hall will incur no financial expenses, as R$ 100 million will be invested in the project by 2023, and ownership of the land will be transferred to the investors for 35 years. Thus, there will be a financial balance between the municipality and the other parties involved in the project.
