Frontier Flight Attendants Vote AFA-CWA

In a strong majority vote, flight attendants at Frontier Airlines voted to join AFA-CWA.

"Frontier flight attendants look forward to negotiating a contract that will protect our interests and address our issues," said Erika Schweitzer, who was appointed transitional AFA-CWA Frontier President until elections are held. "As AFA-CWA members, we will finally have a legally recognized voice to negotiate with management and gain protections that are specific to the needs of Frontier flight attendants."

In September 2009, a group of Frontier flight attendants filed signatures with the NMB to call for the AFA-CWA representation election.  Frontier Airlines is the third flight attendant group to elect AFA-CWA as their bargaining representative in the past year. Frontier Airlines is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings, Inc.

"We welcome our new sisters and brothers at Frontier to the world's largest flight attendant union. Frontier flight attendants have a unique and proud history and with AFA-CWA representation, they will now begin to shape their future through a legally binding contract," said AFA-CWA International President Patricia Friend.

The nearly 1,000 Frontier flight attendants are based in Denver, CO and Milwaukee, WI.
