Memo To Air Division Members: During The Shutdown, We Must Remain Super Vigilant!
From International President John Samuelsen, “As the federal government shutdown drags on, the safety and security risks associated with air travel increase every day. We are beyond the normal safety thresholds and it is becoming increasingly dangerous to fly. The American flying public is imperiled.”
“The chaos of this shutdown has severely eroded the layers of safety protocols that keep our aviation system safe. As frontline airline workers, you must be extra diligent regarding safety and security. Lives may literally depend on it.”
“We need to double down on our efforts to ensure the safety and security of airline passengers. As TWU members, it’s ingrained in us to do just that. We go above and beyond the call of duty in the most harrowing situations every day and must stay observant while this shutdown continues.”
