Strikers and Flight Attendants Rally at AFL-CIO Bus Tour Stops

Last week the AFL-CIO Bus Tour, “It’s Better in a Union,” continued its trek across the country, and CWA members were there to meet it along the way.

In Pittsburgh, Pa., Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers (Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh-CWA Local 38061) are currently on the longest active strike in the country, with over 1,000 days holding the line. NewsGuild member John Santa spoke at the rally, thanking those in attendance for their ongoing support and reaffirming the strikers’ commitment to “fighting until we win.”

Just three days later, the AFL-CIO tour bus pulled into Atlanta, Ga., home of Delta Air Lines. Flight Attendants organizing with AFA-CWA and ramp agents fighting for a union spoke out against management's union-busting and for improved work rules at the country's most profitable airline. They also spoke with AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler about the ongoing campaign to build their union.
