Greetings,

USA3000 FLIGHT ATTENDANTS JOIN AFA-CWA

Washington, DC – Flight attendants at USA3000 Airlines today became members of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) after an overwhelming majority voted for union representation. The election vote, conducted by the National Mediation Board (NMB), showed that 96 of the 114 eligible USA3000 flight attendants voted for AFA-CWA representation.

“We welcome USA3000 flight attendants to the world’s largest flight attendant union and look forward to working side-by-side in negotiating a legally binding contract that will provide the security they need to advance their profession,” said AFA-CWA International President Patricia Friend. “USA3000 flight attendants are committed to shaping the future of their careers and on behalf of our over 50,000 members, we proudly welcome them to AFA-CWA.”

This is the third election victory, as well as the second charter carrier, to elect AFA-CWA as their bargaining representative this year. AFA-CWA filed a petition for election in August after a strong majority of the over 100 USA3000 flight attendants signed representational cards.

For over 60 years, the Association of Flight Attendants has been serving as the voice for flight attendants in the workplace, in the aviation industry, in the media and on Capitol Hill.  More than 50,000 flight attendants at 21 airlines come together to form AFA-CWA, the world’s largest flight attendant union. AFA is part of the 700,000-member strong Communications Workers of America (CWA), AFL-CIO. Visit us at www.afanet.org.
