~Special Announcement from Local 94 Detroit
Officers~
17 February
2009
Dear Detroit
Members,
Perhaps you have seen
some of your colleagues wearing a purple ribbon with their AFA
pin during recent weeks. In recognition of our blended
traditions, we want to show solidarity with our new Delta
colleagues, while maintaining the symbol of our 60-plus years of
collective bargaining. The purple ribbon insignia represents
merging our traditional Northwest red and Delta blue signature
colors. 
Northwest and Delta
flight attendants alike have embraced this small gesture of
mutual support and proudly wear their union pin and ribbon
today. Please join
us in showing you want to maintain representation at the New
Delta. If you need
a ribbon or union pin, stop by your Local 94 office in Detroit. *If a supervisor
requests that you remove the ribbon, inform your Local 94
Officers immediately. Always comply with directives from
management, but remember to document the occurrence and call the
AFA Detroit office right away.
The resolution below was
passed unanimously by the NWA-AFA Master Executive Council last
week. The
policy on Union Insignia pertaining to our uniforms is also
listed at the bottom of this page. As always, please contact the LEC 94 Office
with any questions. ~your Local 94 Detroit
