A Message from the Council 12 Officers
Christmas time is here, but we know we don't have to tell you that as our flights are once again packed with families traveling to see loved ones. Yet, as we see the smiling faces of kids who are happy to celebrate Christmas with their families, we are also facing an increase in unruly Grinches. The American Airlines Passenger Service Agents, which are also represented by our union CWA, have released a new ad to remind passengers that this behavior is not okay and to have patience when flying. You can view this ad by clicking here or watching below.
2021 has been a year of ups and downs. It is hard to believe that only one year ago, many things were still locked down and our industry was in dire straits. Yet, the members and leadership of our union fought to protect and save our industry; hence, it has come back stronger than ever. Just last week, AFA-CWA International President Sara Nelson was on Capitol Hill defending the steps taken to protect the airline industry and the workers who serve every day. There is still much work to be done, but with your support, we will continue to fight to ensure that we continue to fly safely.
Wherever you are, we hope that you enjoy your Christmas Holiday and have a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2022.
In Solidarity,
The Council 12 Officers:
Dante Harris, President
Kimberly Burckhalter, Vice President
Sharlene Kirk, Secretary
Mary Garton, Council Rep
