Power of the Pin!
All in, wear your pin! Let’s show management we are ready for an industry leading contract.
Wear your AFA pin with pride every time you come to work to show that we stand together in support of our Negotiating Committee.
Need an AFA pin? Be on the lookout for Mobilization Volunteers in your base or contact your Local Council for information about how to obtain a new one.
Make sure to wear your AFA pin while flying, attending training, and attending company meetings (including the CARE Retreat). Let management know we are engaged in the negotiations process and ready to act if necessary. #WeCanDoBetter!
We are currently looking for Human Rights Chairs and Reps at all bases!
