Flight Attendants for Flight Attendants
No one knows your job and your issues like other Flight Attendants. That’s why the Association of Flight Attendants believes we need to unite in one union focused exclusively on Flight Attendants to take full advantage of the leverage we have as a union of Flight Attendants, by Flight Attendants and for Flight Attendants.
Flight Attendants hold every elected position – from your local domicile and the United Master Executive Council, to the International union. AFA’s three top officers are current Flight Attendants: International President Veda Shook is an Alaska Airlines Flight Attendant and International Vice President Sara Nelson and Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Creighan are United Flight Attendants.
Our union is organized to represent Flight Attendants only, and we have the support of the Communications Workers of America, and the AFL-CIO. Our advocacy has gained the respect of legislators and regulators alike, and AFA is the voice of Flight Attendants on the Hill.
We encourage every Flight Attendant to become involved, to raise your voice and be an activist. Run for office. Tell us what you think. Your voice will resonate from your domicile to the MEC in Chicago to the International union in Washington. In AFA, every Flight Attendant’s voice counts.
AFA was the first professional organization to represent Flight Attendants, and it has grown with the passion and experience of its members, nearly 60,000 Flight Attendants at 23 airlines. Together we are better.
