Supporting AFA’s Delta Organizing
Whereas Pride at Work recognizes the vital importance of organizing the unorganized; and
Whereas Pride at Work’s growth as an organization is linked to its developing a national campaign to boost its visibility among working people; and
Whereas Pride at Work already has chapters in many large urban centers that have a high density of LGBTQ+ workers; and
Whereas the Association of Flight Attendants- CWA (AFA-CWA) has committed substantial resources to organizing the flight attendants at Delta Airlines; and
Whereas AFA-CWA believes that a significant percentage of Delta flight attendants are LGBTQ+; and
Whereas many of those LGBTQ+ flight attendants live in cities where Pride at Work has chapters; and
Whereas many of Delta’s largest hub cities are cities that Pride at Work has identified for development of new or existing chapters;
Therefore, Be It Resolved that Pride at Work offers its full support and participation to AFA- CWA for its Delta organizing campaign; and
Be It Further Resolved that Pride at Work make assisting with the Delta airlines campaign a priority for the next two years; and
Be It Finally Resolved that that national Co-Chairs will notify Sara Nelson, International President of AFA, of our willingness and commitment to provide assistance in organizing queer flight attendants and their non-queer colleagues in this important organizing drive.
