I started this journey as an TSPS operator back on July 14, 1980. I attended Classen High School here in Oklahoma City. I had a crazy supervisor and I became a radical union steward.

My name is Lori Manuel. I've been employed with American Airlines, by way of Piedmont Airlines, USAir and US Airways since 1984. I currently work in the Concierge Key department at American. This department handles VIP members and celebrities alike. I have worked in numerous departments, even in management departments prior to voting for the union and our first contract. Of course, I would never cross back to the "other side" again...

Not even 4 months in we started to see a change, some of our products started to be outsourced to other countries...
