Flight Attendants at Delta Air Lines organizing for positive change and a voice in the workplace with @afa_cwa. Stronger Together, Better Together. 💜 ✊ #1u
Flight Attendants, and passengers who followed their instructions, have thwarted every terrorist attempt on a plane in the U.S. since September 11, 2001. Not a day goes by that we don't prepare for our role in aviation security as the last line of defense.
Flight Attendants across the industry are proud of the heroic actions of aviation’s first responders on NWA Flight 253 on December 25, 2009. This AFA crew successfully stopped the Christmas Day “pant bombing” attempt.
AFL-CIO President @LizShuler and @NFFE_Union's @RandyErwin joined @AFA_CWA and @IAM_Union on the #BetterInAUnion bus tour in Atlanta to stand with Delta workers as they organize.
This is the largest organizing campaign in America, and America’s unions have their backs. ✊
The #BetterInAUnion bus tour was in Atlanta today to support @IAM_Union, @AFA_CWA, @UNITEHERE and @SEIU workers at the Atlanta Airport. It was an honor to meet them and hear their stories about what inspired them to organize a union. The entire labor movement has their back.
💪🏽 Big energy in ATL today!
@AFLCIO President @LizShuler met with @IAM_DeltaRamp and @DeltaAFA workers to get the latest on their historic organizing campaign. ✊✈️
"... and the airline executives are driven first and foremost to take profits for themselves and their investors at the expense of workers, passengers and our communities.”

Statement from @FlyingWithSara: “Delta’s violation of the PSP by exceeding compensation caps for corporate officers simply shows once again why @DeltaAFA are organizing – because they know without a union, there is no accountability, there is no voice for the workers..."
The PSP – designed and championed by AFA and unions across the aviation industry – created a first-of-its-kind workers-first relief plan from the government with the most strict requirements and oversight by Treasury.
It provided true oversight and accountability for airlines.
Today, @delta agreed to pay an $8.1 million settlement to resolve allegations that it violated the agreements of the Payroll Support Program – the Workers First COVID relief program that continued paychecks for aviation workers & capped exec. compensation. https://t.co/F2IcQO8MaI
