http://blog.aflcio.org/2008/07/10/flight-attendants-back-obamaThe 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.
