Rally at SeaTac Airport

Rally at SeaTac Airport – February 16, 2019

NO MORE SHUTDOWNS!!!!

We will be holding a rally at the Flag Pavilion off of International Blvd, just in front of the terminal parking entrance (across the street from the Radisson Hotel) on Saturday February 16th, from 2PM – 4PM. 

We will be joined by representatives from the Martin Luther King Labor Council, AFGE and other Labor Groups. Alaska Airlines management supports our push to end government shutdowns, and has approved wearing uniforms to picket. Red t-shirts or street clothes are also acceptable, but uniforms are preferred. 

Hope to see you there!!!

In Solidarity, 

Your Council #19 Officers and Government Affairs Committee

Council #19 – Leafleting

Council #19 Leafleting

February 13 & 14 at SeaTac

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!

We will be leafleting from 11AM – 4PM on February 13th and 6AM – 9AM/1PM – 4PM on February 14th. 

Alaska AirGroup supports our actions to stop the shutdown. You may wear your uniform, red t-shirts or street clothes (however uniforms are preferred!). 

We need to make certain that the public and our co-workers understand the serious effects of a government shutdown on aviation safety. 

There is a real threat of continuing the shutdown to day 36. Federal workers were already stretched  to a breaking point and may have not received the pay the are due from the 35 day shutdown and programs have not started again. The system will be in crisis if we go to day 36 and it may not be able to recover quickly. 

White House Chief of Staff Mulvaney said on Meet the Press that we “absolutely cannot” rule out another shutdown. The Washington Post and others report talks are stalled, and Reuters reports that Congressional negotiators don’t even have meetings scheduled for the coming week. 

It is critical that we take action. This is about our safety, our security, and our jobs. To get the full briefing, there is a webcast tomorrow at 2PM PST. Click Here to register for the webcast. 

We all need to understand two things:

  1. Our lives are on the line
  2. Our jobs are on the line

If we show how fiercely we are willing to stand up for our lives and our jobs, that translates to real power for fixing all the other issues plaguing us in our individual airlines. 

Please reach out to Bev Bullock at blk.bullock@gmail.com if you can participate, even for a short time.
