8.29.24 – APFA ORD Base Brief – Supporting Our Union Siblings

Thursday, August 29, 2024

When one Union succeeds, we all succeed. Last summer was the red-hot labor summer, and this year is no different. Throughout our fight for a Tentative Agreement, our Sibling Unions across industries offered support. A rising tide lifts all boats!

AFA United Day of Action- ORD- August 28, 2024

Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL)

Every August, the CFL hosts an event celebrating Union solidarity in Chicago. We are a proud Union city! You know our picket chant, “Chicago is a Union Town!”

APFA was able to meet with other Unions and speak with elected officials at both the state and local level, thanking them for their support while also bringing forward the issues of our membership. APFA Flight Attendants were congratulated by those in attendance who closely followed and supported our fight to secure our Tentative Agreement.

We continue to stand with those who are battling corporate greed. When one Union wins, it is a win for all!
