A majority of flight attendants at Lynx Aviation voted by a 2-1 margin this week for representation by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA. The election vote, conducted by the National Mediation Board (NMB), showed that 55 of the 87 eligible Lynx flight attendants voted for AFA-CWA despite an aggressive anti-union campaign by management.

In the face of media layoffs and bankruptcies, 150 members of CWA's newspaper, printing and broadcast sectors met for three days in Baltimore last weekend to talk about strategies for saving not just jobs but the industry.
