“Flight Attendants are excited to be unified at the new United Airlines and move forward together. It is shameful that the IAM would disrespect the democratic outcome of this vote and attempt to interfere in the negotiations and daily representation for Flight Attendants at United, Continental and Continental Micronesia.
“Throughout the entire campaign the tactics employed by the IAM were some of the nastiest we’ve ever seen in other organizing drives where we faced management and union busters of the worst kind. Flight Attendants saw through it, voted for AFA and now they want to move on with a unified Flight Attendant group.
“There are serious issues to address for workers in the United States and around the world. Union leaders should be working collaboratively and focusing our resources on improving the lives of working families. Workers benefit when we unite as one. We invite the IAM to take a different approach that supports focus on bettering our members’ lives without petty distraction that seeks to divide workers.
