We’re proposing a new rule to make it mandatory for all U.S. airlines to compensate you with meals, hotels, taxis, rebooking fees, and cash miles or travel vouchers when they’re the ones to blame for cancellation or delay.
It matters for hardworking families.
Our TWU 577 Allegiant Flight Attendants were at LAX pushing this much needed legislation. It’s time to stop the abuse! #assaultwontfly

On #WorkersMemorialDay learn how one TWU member is honoring her brother's memory, while also working to keep her union sisters and brothers safe on the job site: https://t.co/OxMNaoRW28
The TWU celebrates the diversity of our membership. We will always defend the right of our members and all working people to observe their freely chosen spiritual beliefs. We wish our members a blessed season.
Lack of planning & disregard for the wellbeing of workers, including ground crews exposed to sub-0 temps & FAs stranded w/o food & water, is what led to @Southwestair's meltdown in the first place. If SWA is serious, stop the anti-worker LUV hypocrisy.

This #WomensHistoryMonth the TWU is honoring our female leaders. Christa Gifford is President of @TWU577FA and represents flight attendants at @Allegiant
"We're having too many close calls. Running operations too hot. Too many issues. Safety is a huge concern for us," says Lyn Montgomery, TWU Local 556 President

Today at @AeroClubDC Corliss King, 2nd VP of Local 556, asked @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan when the airline will restore trust between the company and its frontline workers. Sadly, he doesn’t have an answer. The TWU does - strong, new contracts for @TWU556 & Local 555!
At the inaugural coalition of TWU Flight Attendants, TWU Air Division Director Andre Sutton, Int'l VP Thom McDaniel, and reps from @TWU556, @Twu577FA & Local 579 discussed ways to collaborate, support & advance the quality of work and quality of life for all flight attendants.
.@SouthwestAir is shafting the living daylights their passengers. @transportworker workgroups feel your pain. LUVless SWA has been shafting TWU members forever, raking in gazillions, then chiseling workers at the bargaining table.
Never before in the history of @SouthwestAir have Flight Attendants’ working conditions deteriorated so rapidly, crippling our quality of life, devaluing our role, and creating a loss of spirit. Join us for the informational picket on 9/27, #MakeItRightSWA#TWU556
Thank you to our incredible and passionate speakers for addressing the #NVAFLCIO66 Convention about the challenges and experiences that our union workers in the airline industry face on a daily basis.
