We Cannot and Will Not Risk Another Lockout
Flight Attendant Union Statement on Deal to Avert Continued Shutdown (Feb 15)
- Our safety and security is not a political game - never put it in jeopardy again.
- Pass legislation to end the practice of legislating policy through the budgeting process. Never lock workers out again.
- Back pay for all federal workers and contractors.
- Improve federal labor law so workers can protest injustice without retaliation.
Call to Action
AFA-CWA BOD Resolution: Lockout Never Again
Food inspectors, accident investigators, FBI, park service – they were all without work and unable to ensure our safety. Cafeteria workers, janitors and the million Americans who support the work of our government went without work. They were hurt personally and the hit to our economy is double-digit Billions of dollars. Ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Fair Compensation for Low-Wage Contractor Employees Act.
Government is a full set of public services that work together to keep us safe, secure, and our economy moving. There is no partial fix here! We need a fully functioning government and an end to thrusting hard-working, patriotic Americans into the cross hairs of a political game. End this Lockout threat forever.
