Celebrating LGBTQ Pride Month
Originally posted June 1, 2024
June 1 marks the first day of LGBTQ Pride Month in the United States. The tradition recognizes the events of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a watershed moment in the LGBTQ rights movement. You can use the resource links below to explore more about LGBTQ Pride Month, delve into the history of the LGBTQ rights movement, and discover events you can take part in. Join the celebration by wearing an LGBTQ Pride Month AFA Pin during June. Contact your Local Council for more information on obtaining a pin.
We Won’t Wait!

We’ve started another summer flying season without a tentative agreement. Alaska Flight Attendants can’t afford to wait! And we won’t wait for the contract we are due.
Management has said, “we remain focused on closing existing gaps swiftly to reach an improved agreement you can begin working under as soon as possible.” It’s time to make good on this promise.
We’re ready to push forward over the next two weeks during our negotiations sessions to reach a tentative agreement that Alaska Flight Attendants can ratify. And if management won’t make the deal, we’re preparing for next steps under the Railway Labor Act.
