AFA Statement on Senate NLRB Vote
WASHINGTON, D.C. (December 11, 2024) — Association of Flight Attendants-CWA President Sara Nelson, representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines, released the following statement after the Senate blocked the reconfirmation of Lauren McFerran:
"Manchin and Sinema are responsible for killing voting rights, worker rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, childcare, vision and dental for seniors, and an economy built for the people. This is one more FU to the working class on their way out the door. But Manchin and Sinema are not the story.
"Don’t bury the lede. The entire GOP has relentlessly fought against anything good for the vast majority of the people of this country. The GOP shows once again their total disdain for their constituents. But they better watch what they do in implementing their plans to make it worse. These laws are set up to mostly protect corporations and getting rid of the last pathetic bits of worker rights under the law will simply lead to more disruption and CHAOS."
