Flight Attendants Move Toward CWA Affiliation
The executive board of the Association of Flight Attendants has authorized the union to move forward on a merger agreement with CWA. CWA and the 40,000 member AFA are pursuing a partnership that will enhance and expand representation of airline workers at both unions.
"AFA is a dynamic and professional organization. We have worked well together in the past and we would be proud to unite with AFA and take that partnership into the future," CWA President Morton Bahr said.
CWA and AFA members have supported each other in US Airways bargaining, at shareholder meetings and in advancing industry safety and other issues. An affiliation between AFA and CWA would strengthen bargaining, mobilization and organizing throughout the industry.
Members of the AFA executive board met with CWA officials and staff in April, and the AFA board approved continuing work on a final merger agreement. That agreement will be presented to the AFA executive board and board of directors.
