Turn the Airport RED – Solidarity Activity on Tuesday, July 22^nd

The Negotiating Committee went back to the table with management last week and needs your support as they continue negotiating for the contractual improvements we deserve!

Let’s show management we’re serious about our contract negotiations!

Join us on Tuesday, July 22^nd for our next airport solidarity event.  Volunteers are needed to demonstrate our strong presence at each of the five bases.  We’ll also be distributing new RED solidarity items to Flight Attendants!

Can the Negotiating Committee count on you?

We still need volunteers in all five bases during the following time slots:

ANC – 1 to 4 PM

SEA – 5 to 9 AM, 11 AM to 4 PM, 5 to 10 PM

PDX – 5:30 to 8 AM, 8 to 10:30 AM

LAX – 5 to 8:30 AM, 8:30 AM to 12 PM, 1 to 4:30 PM

SAN – 8 to 11:30 AM

By volunteering just a few hours out of your day, you’ll help to solidify our strong presence at the airport and help management see RED in our five bases!

Already flying that day?

Be on the lookout for Mobilization Volunteers at each of the five bases throughout the day.  They’ll be clearly visible in new RED AFA t-shirts.  When you see them, ask them for your new RED solidarity items!

Dear Flight Attendants,

Your Master Executive Council (MEC), Negotiating Committee and Mobilization Committee have been busy planning more solidarity activities this summer. We wanted to get this information into your hands before the Independence Day holiday weekend and before bidding opens in PBS.

Join us at the RED Hot AFA Summer BBQ at Angle Lake Park in SeaTac, WA—right next to the Alaska Airline Corporate Headquarters! The picnic will be on Wednesday, August 20^th in the afternoon. Flight Attendants throughout the system are invited and may utilize non-revenue travel to attend this recreational—and educational—event!

AFA will also conduct a system-wide solidarity activity at each of the Flight Attendant domiciles on the following Wednesday, August 27^th, time TBD. For maximum impact, we are going to withhold the details for now.

Also, remember there is a system-wide solidarity event on Tuesday, July 22^nd.  We will be doing another airport walk and handing out the latest swag. Do you think it’s time for a new AFA t-shirt? Come out and join us!

Here are the session times around the system:

ANC: 1pm-4pm
SEA: 5am-9am, 11am-4pm, 5pm-10pm
PDX: 5:30am-8:00am, 8:00am-10:30am
LAX: 5am-8:30am, 8:30am-12pm, 1pm-4:30pm
SAN: 8am-11:30am
