Wilson Center Polling — Beginning June 30th

In response to a request from AFA leaders and activists involved in the Delta AFA organizing campaign, the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA) will begin a follow up poll among flight attendants.  AFA has contracted with The Wilson Center for Public Research to conduct this telephone survey, which will begin on Tuesday, June 30th.
 
The poll will address the issues of work-related improvements, views of management and of the AFA, and union representation. Whether you support having a legally binding contract, oppose having the right to negotiate with management, or are not yet sure, your participation in this poll is very important. If you are among the hundreds of flight attendants contacted at random to participate in this poll, please share your candid views. Any information you provide will be kept in strict confidence from Delta Air Lines and will only be shared with AFA.
 
The Wilson Center for Public Research conducts polls with many airline employee groups. If you have Caller ID, you will see either the Wilson Center's name or a number from area code 301 and exchange 306 (e.g. 301-306-XXXX.)
 
We did a similar poll in the spring and thousands of conversations amongst us have occurred since then.  We will be calling for a vote rather soon, and a successful election will bring us all one step closer to our goal of negotiating the best flight attendant contract for the world's largest airline.  We thank you for your participation.
