11.14.23 – APFA DCA Base Brief – Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) to Picket with APFA

Senator John Fetterman to Picket with APFA

Tuesday, November 14, 2023

DCA Flight Attendants,

We are excited to inform you that Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) will join APFA at our DCA picketing event this Thursday, November 16th, from 11 am-1 pm. We expect the Senator to arrive around noon. Senator Fetterman is a staunch supporter of workers’ rights and a voice for working people in the Senate. We are honored to share our picket line with him.

“For the past 40 years, the rich have gotten richer while the workers who actually keep this country running have fallen farther and farther behind. The past two years have made this abundantly clear—management, elites, and politicians praised essential workers, but failed to back up those words with actual support. It is past time to build an economy that works for all of us, not just the people at the top. That starts with protecting and expanding the union way of life.

The Union way of life is sacred, and as a public servant, I have always stood up for workers. I have walked picket lines with striking workers, attended countless rallies in support unionization efforts and have even asked my campaign email list to donate directly to unions’ strike funds. I’ll take this fight for workers with me to Washington.” -Senator John Fetterman

Please join us in welcoming Senator Fetterman on Thursday as we tell American Airlines that We Are Ready and willing to strike for the contract we deserve!

In Solidarity,

John Pennel
