AFA Member Awarded AFL-CIO Lifetime Achievement Award
January 19, 2025 — The AFL-CIO honored Stan Kiino, a member of United AFA SFO Council 11, with the 2024 Drum Major for Justice Lifetime Achievement Award. The award honors labor and community leaders who have dedicated their lives to advancing civil and workplace rights.
Stan has been a champion for LGBTQ+ rights and an active member of the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance for decades. His advocacy helped push United Airlines to become the first airline to extend domestic partner benefits to same-sex couples in the late 1990s. Watch Stan recount the fight here.
Our union and our industry are better because of Stan. Congratulations on this achievement!
