        Sea Tac Jobs Initiative

        September 12, 2013 09:32

         Dear Seattle Flight Attendant,

        Multi-national corporations, the WA Restaurant Association, airline and rental car CEOs have tried everything to keep SeaTac Proposition 1, the Good Jobs Initiative, off this November’s ballot. They even appealed all the way to the WA Supreme Court.

        We have good news: this week justice prevailed! In just 5 weeks thousands of SeaTac voters will start receiving their ballots and voting Yes! For SeaTac Proposition 1.  Now SeaTac voters and airport employees need our help.

        Click here to endorse Yes! For SeaTac Proposition 1 now.

        reo loans

        We’ve already endorsed Yes! For SeaTac as an organization. Can you personally endorse Yes! For SeaTac Proposition1 today? It doesn’t matter if you live in SeaTac or not — you can raise your hand to show your support for more full time jobs and a livable wage in SeaTac.

        Click here to endorse now.

        You’ll be joining King County Councilmember Julia Patterson, the WA State Firefighters, as well as SeaTac residents, businesses and organizations in supporting paid sick leave, more full-time jobs, tip protection and a livable wage for more than 6,000 hard working men and women at SeaTac airport and big airport hotels. The full endorsement list is here.

        SeaTac small businesses are exempt — SeaTac Prop 1 applies to big multi-national corporations making record profits at our airport while paying poverty level wages. More money in the pockets of airport employees means more spending at local businesses, and that means better schools and better services for everyone in SeaTac.

        That’s why SeaTac businesses, like the SeaTac Bull Pen Bar & Grill, have already endorsed Yes! For SeaTac Proposition 1

        How about you? Add your name now to hundreds of others. It doesn’t matter where you live. We need your endorsement to help pass SeaTac Proposition 1 this fall.

        Thank you!

        July 11, 2025

        This message is for pre-merger Alaska Flight Attendants A recent arbitration ruling has brought a significant victory that strengthens our rights under Sections 8.M and 8.D of our Collective Bargaining Agreement.
