        Negotiations Update May 21, 2014: 60 Days to 100% RED

        May 21, 2014 05:00

        We are turning up the heat. Now is the time to mobilize our workgroup for action. Solidarity is a powerful force, and we are calling on every flight attendant to STAND STRONG as we begin our second round of negotiations.

        Here’s where we STAND:

        • February you voted with a CLEAR voice to send us back to negotiations on your behalf to fight for a better contract
        • May 8th you backed that vote with a LOUD voice during the shareholder meeting in Anchorage
        • May 20th you backed that vote with an INFORMATIVE voice by joining the mobilization efforts in ANC, SEA, PDX, LAX, & SAN

        Now let’s continue to back that vote with a STRONG voice by:

        • Sending a clear message to management with a 100% participation in wearing your RED AFA pin
        • Sharing the message of UNITY to your fellow flight attendants
        • Participating in SOLIDARITY events, as your Negotiating Committee continues to stand for a contract you can believe in

        Why RED?  RED signifies our strength & power!
        ­­Why NOW?  It’s time to send a unified message!
        Why ME?  Each flight attendant is crucial to our success!

        Management will literally be counting RED pins to get an understanding of our strength when coming back to the table. We need YOU, we need your VOICE, we need your SOLIDARITY, we need your STRENGTH.

        This is OUR TIME! Each of you is valuable to your Negotiating Committee’s success. The countdown has begun. Send your Negotiating Committee to the table with 100% support as we represent YOUR VOICE to management.

        RED Hot Countdown  –  60 days to 100% support:

        • Wear your RED AFA pin – Share a pin
        • Encourage each other to participate
        • Join the fun! Tweet & Instagram your photos
        • Look for your RED Hot rewards around the system
        • Participate in solidarity events
