Wow, Chicago! The TA has passed! It was years in the making, but we finally made it! – Final Vote Results

Justin and I are extremely proud of the voter turnout. We urged you to educate yourselves and make your vote count. And boy, did you respond! We had the highest voter turnout of any base. We definitely deserve some prizes for this achievement, don’t you think? LOL!

A big thank you to our Negotiating Committee. Their hard work and unwavering determination truly paid off. We might not have gotten everything we asked for, but this is a major milestone and a great foundation for future contracts.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to our Chicago CAT members. They earned their steps walking the terminals to educate our FAs, answer questions, and offer support. They worked tirelessly at every picket. They reached out and supported other unions and labor organizations. They attended and even spoke at Labor Notes. They helped our National Officers and our Negotiators. They represented Chicago well. Thank you: Alyssa Kovacs, Katrina Fraley, Jason Swiler, Rachel MacLeod, Peter Esau, Derek Chavez, AJ Tarleton, and Cecelia Henderson.
