3.31.23 – APFA ORD Base Brief – Thank You for Your Support!

Friday, March 31, 2023

Hello Chicago!

Today marks my last day as ORD Base President. This is a great base, and it’s due to your staying involved and informed! It has been an honor to represent ORD Flight Attendants since 2013. Though hard at times, I’ve always found the work rewarding.

I will continue working with the Negotiations Team, fighting for our new contract and assisting at the base when needed.

I applaud the candidates who stepped up and ran for election in ORD and other bases. Congratulations to the 23 duly elected ORD Base Council Reps. This is a record number of candidates submitting their willingness to serve. It leaves me encouraged for the future of the APFA as so many Flight Attendants are choosing to get involved.

I fully support Dray Howard, ORD Base President, and Justin Patterson, ORD Base Vice President, as their term begins April 1. They have a great combination of years of experience, contractual knowledge, strong leadership, and fresh ideas. This base is poised to be better and stronger than ever!

During these past ten years as Base President, our members have seen many changes, faced adversity, and celebrated victories. These times have been challenging, but hard work still needs to be done. The company continues to violate our contract, and we struggle with company IT shortcomings. We must remain vigilant. Now more than ever, each Flight Attendant must support APFA by wearing a union pin, staying engaged, educated, and ready to vote! We can achieve great things when we stand together.

Thank you for your support!

In Solidarity,

Susan Wroble
APFA ORD Base President
