On #WorkersMemorialDay, we remember every worker who lost their life or suffered from a work-related illness or injury. The TWU has been proudly fighting for stronger safety measures for 90 years, and we’ll continue advocating for policies that keep workers safe.
The TWU and @TWU556 had a big contract win this week - but we've been racking up wins across the aviation industry in recent months that will benefit ALL workers, not just our members. Check out the 🧵 below 👇(1/10)
@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir @SpiritAirlines @FlyFrontier @Twu577FA @TwuSamuelsen “The TWU has proven that we are an incredibly effective voice for Flight Attendants.” @TwuSamuelsen “We’ll keep fighting for our members and when we win, aviation workers across the industry will benefit.” (10/10)
“JetBlue has responded to every single organizing drive with the most anti-trade union, anti-worker aggression of any employer in the country,” @TwuSamuelsen told @SheCarriesOn, @OrlandoWeekly. “They’re worse than Delta.” orlandoweekly.com/news/jetblue-a…
As the weekend approaches, we want to reflect on the achievements that our TWU Siblings have made this past week. Congratulations to @TWU556 for ratifying an industry-leading contract that sets the standard in the aviation industry. #TWU #TWUStrong #UnionStrong

160 members of Congress send a message to @JetBlue — stop intimidating workers. “We’ve had a multi-year bruising exposure to JetBlue on the organizing front” @TwuSamuelsen “JetBlue must sign a neutrality agreement and end their anti-trade union tactics.” forbes.com/sites/tedreed/…

@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir @SpiritAirlines @FlyFrontier @Twu577FA @TwuSamuelsen But the Southwest contract is more than just wages. It provides an industry-first paid maternity and parental leave with healthcare benefits. And the deal ends the 24-hour on-call system to give Flight Attendants more well-deserved rest. (9/10)
@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir @SpiritAirlines @FlyFrontier @Twu577FA Finally, more than 21,000 @SouthwestAir Flight Attendants will receive a 22 % raise next week, becoming the highest-paid Flight Attendants in the industry. @TwuSamuelsen said the deal will resonate with United, Alaska and American as they negotiate with their FAs. (8/10)
@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir The new contract, which also increases the amount of time Flight Attendants are paid while on duty, is a “game-changer” for low-cost carriers like Allegiant and raises the bar for other LCCs like @SpiritAirlines and @FlyFrontier. (7/10)
@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir April brought, in the words of DJ Khaled, “Another One!” Flight Attendants @TWULocal577 overwhelmingly ratified their new contract that locks in average wage increases of 25 %, setting a new standard for all other low-cost carrier flight attendants. (6/10)
@TWULocal579 @TWUlocal555 @SouthwestAir Days after Local 555’s win, TWU Dispatchers at Air Wisconsin won a successful contract after years of negotiations – and the very real threat of a first airline work group strike since 2010. Average wages at the regional carrier went up by 22 %. (5/10) spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/n…
@TWULocal579 The hard work paid off in March! @TWUlocal555, repping nearly 20,000 ramp, operations, provisioning and freight agents @SouthwestAir ratified a contract that provides top-of-the-industry wage rates and average pay increases over 18 %. (4/10) twu.org/twu-local-555-…
@TWULocal579 Then, early 2024 brought a new set of safety and delivery challenges from Boeing, plaguing the aviation industry. This comes on the heels of a post-COVID boom in passenger demand for air travel. But TWU negotiators kept hammering away.
It all began 6 months ago, when JetBlue Flight Attendants repped by @TWULocal579 received a mid-contract pay raise that led to a 21.5% pay increase by January 2025. (2/10) cnbc.com/2023/09/29/jet…

We wholeheartedly support our fellow JetBlue employees in exercising their right to organize their workplace and securing their seat at the table.
TWU Local 579 supports the letter signed by 160 lawmakers who want to protect workers and their right to organize. We are far too familiar with the anti-Union tactics that @JetBlue uses to retaliate against their employees.
