Flight Attendants Back Obama |

|
The Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) union endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president yesterday in a vote by the board of directors of the 55,000-member union. Patricia Friend, president of AFA-CWA, says Obama is a candidate who understands and will fight for the needs of flight attendants and all working families.
We are at a turning point and need a President who recognizes this struggle.
AFA-CWA remains committed to supporting political candidates of all parties. The only criteria is that the candidate support issues important to the flight attendant profession and the improvement of working women’s and men’s lives.
While AFA-CWA strongly supports both Democrats and Republicans for offices that have an impact on the flight attendant profession, the record of the two candidates for President, on issues of importance to our industry and our profession, the choice is clear.
Last month, the AFL-CIO endorsed Obama and launched a new website, Meet Barack Obama, to educate and mobilize union members. This fall, the AFL-CIO is carrying out an unprecedented grassroots mobilization to elect a working family-friendly Congress and president.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I am glad to see the Union endorsments growing for Obama. IMO, all Union People,indeed all Working People should support Obama.
These type off endorsements are meaningless at this point and made even more meaningless by the fact that this was a vote by the board of directors and not the membership. A day late and a dollar short comes to mind.
Educate the membership on the issues instead of making these stupid proclamations: The results at the voting booth are more likely improve in our favor.
