Stronger together, Better Together

Over the past weekend, representatives from 18 airlines represented by AFA met in Las Vegas for the 49th annual AFA Board of Directors (BOD) Convention.

Daniel's story

I’m a Seattle-based Flight Attendant, and I’m about to celebrate my 8-year anniversary at Delta.

Austin's story

Next month, I will celebrate my eighth anniversary with Delta.

Now boarding: our organizing

Delta management announced this evening that Flight Attendants will be paid for boarding. It seems they are feeling the heat. Keep going! Every improvement they add now will get locked in when we vote for our union because they can’t retaliate and take it away.

This new policy is the direct result of our organizing—and a desperate attempt to prevent their other new boarding policy (D+40) from creating the kind of anger that it deserves.

Virtual Townhall Recording: Flight Attendants and Starbucks baristas standing together

At our Delta AFA Virtual Town Hall on Tuesday, April 19, we were joined by Jaz Brisack, a barista from Buffalo who helped lead Starbucks Workers United’s first win and sparked a national movement.

The company is a name brand around the world. They pride themselves on being innovative, leading their industry, and treating their employees like “family.”

You could write all that about Delta, but we’re talking about Starbucks. And just like Delta, when Starbucks workers asked for a seat at the table, management started an all-out union busting blitz.

Trip Construction

Trip Construction has the potential to significantly affect our quality of life for better or worse. At Delta, it has been a major source of concern especially since the beginning of COVID. We’ve seen sit times increase, increase in maximum duty days with minimum rest, transcons followed by a penalty lap, domestic trips with multiple legs and constant reroutes. The list goes on and on.

Ariana's story

If you see me on the line, come and say hi! I’m super excited to continue organizing and feel really hopeful about this next year and what we’re going to accomplish.

Uniform Garment Testing Request

As of March 31, 2022, Delta Flight Attendants must wear one of three sets of approved uniform lines made by Lands End with very limited exceptions for supply chain issues only.

Management is scared of losing total control

You are doing it! You’re building your union and management doesn’t want to lose total control by having to respond to your legal rights at work as union members.

Today, management launched an email full of the same old tired talking points and a new website built by high dollar, third party union busters. So much for the direct relationship - they’d rather spend millions to avoid the legal relationship that comes with your standing at Delta as professional, union Flight Attendants.

We’ll take the raise and a real voice on the job!

This morning at VELVET, management announced a 4% pay increase for Delta employees, effective May 1. They chose to tell a small group so the rumors could start to fly ahead of the company-wide announcement that came moments ago.

We’ll take the raise and a real voice on the job!

Is this in response to our campaign or the pilots picketing last week? Likely these things both contributed as part of an effort to divide Delta workers who are organizing to make Delta a better place to work.
