Flight Attendants across the industry are fighting to raise the standards for our career. More than two-thirds of the U.S. Flight Attendants are in contract negotiations right now, including red-hot contract fights at Alaska, Air Wisconsin, United, Omni, American, Southwest, Frontier and more.
This moment is not about what uniform we wear: It's about what unites us, and that unity transcends airlines. Our time on the job must be compensated. We need retirement security. We need flexibility and control of our lives. Legacy sexism that attitudes towards this industry continues to traditionally devalued our jobs must be stamped out and replaced with the true value of our work. Like every other worker around the world, we need to go to work to live, not just live to work. We are ready to do whatever it takes to achieve the landmark contracts that reflect the profits our work creates. Together, 100,000 Flight Attendants are pushing our careers forward this year — battling corporate greed.
Join us on Tuesday, February 13, at more than 30 airports for a worldwide day of action and picketing event. It's our turn.

If you’re scheduled to work or won’t be able to make it to a picketing event in person, you can still participate in our Worldwide Day of Action. Help turn up the heat on social media and take part in our virtual picket!
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Download, Screenshot, Print a Picket Sign
Download or screenshot your choice of picket sign and print it so you’ll have it with you on the day of the event.
Step 2: Take a Supportive Selfie or Crewfie
Take a selfie with your sign, preferably in uniform! This is a great opportunity to involve your whole crew in the activity.
***Important Note***
Don’t take your selfie while on duty or on the aircraft. A great time to take a picture would be in the terminal after deplaning or upon arrival at your layover hotel.
