Take Action: Storm the Airwaves on 8-10
August 2, 2017 — To keep the momentum going for 10 hours irreducible rest and protecting good U.S. aviation jobs, AFA is calling for an on-line Day of Action on August 10 (our minimum rest needs to move from 8-10).
We are asking every Flight Attendant to contact your Representative, two Senators and to join in our social media (Twitter) messaging campaign.
The challenge is to get as many AFA members as possible to sign-up for a Twitter account. Twitter is extremely effective for contacting members of Congress and getting the attention of corporations and media. We will make it easy for you! Just take a few minutes now to set up your Twitter account (if not already signed up) and make sure you keep your user name and password. On August 10 (8-10), we will provide a click through list to targeted members of Congress.
Getting active on Twitter has never been easier. Please help make sure your flying partners, family and friends have Twitter accounts and follow AFA (@afa_cwa)!
