The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, (AFA) AFL-CIO represents nearly 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines. Proudly #1u.
Our @newsguild.org siblings have seen egregious union busting since the beginning of the year. @flyingwithsara.bsky.social rallied at the #SaveThePost rally this week! Billionaire WaPo owner Jeff Bezos that we stand with the workers at the Washington Post and we are disgusted by his boundless greed.

We had a good discussion with @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, President of @afacwa.org, at this week's @laborcaucus.house.gov meeting. Flight attendants keep us safe in the air, and they deserve fair pay, strong protections, and respect on the job.

Congrats to @uaw.org workers at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant! Workers made history in 2024 by voting to form their union with UAW, and they just did it again by securing a historic tentative agreement. Solidarity gets the goods. #OrganizeTheSouth

Always energizing to spend time with my friend @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants–CWA, AFL–CIO.

She’s an outstanding labor leader, & together we’re fighting to ensure flight attendants get the fair pay & strong protections they have earned.

We implore Congress to honor them by acting to make our skies safer, and call on the House to pass the ROTOR Act. Our statement: ttd.org/news-and-med...

Thank you Senator @warren.senate.gov for your support of United Flight Attendants! #ContractNOW
United's CEO is the highest paid CEO in the industry, while their flight attendants are paid the least – by far.

That's not right.

No CEO should make 1,173 TIMES what a first year flight attendant makes.

I'm standing with @afacwa.org. They deserve a fair contract now.
