        RSVP NOW! Worldwide Flight Attendant Day of Action – June 13, 2024

        Originally posted May 14, 2024

        Summer travel season is just around the corner, but corporate greed is already in full swing. We refuse to sit back and watch airline executives line their pockets with massive raises while ignoring the needs of hardworking Flight Attendants. That’s why we’re taking a stand on Thursday, June 13, with a Worldwide Flight Attendant Day of Action. Make your voice heard and join us at one of the 30+ airports worldwide. It’s time to fight back!

        Mediation Session 4

        Originally posted May 17, 2024

        This week was our fourth Mediation session with management and the mediator assigned by the National Mediation Board. We made progress on Section 10.R-S Reassignments and Pre-Cancellations, and Section 8.Q. Contactability. Management also presented their response to our comprehensive proposal from last session. Moving forward, you will notice a change to our communication structure. The mediator directed both parties not to disclose specific details at this stage, which is not uncommon at this point in mediation. However, we can and will share general details of each session.
