American Airlines Flight Attendants Commemorate 25th Strike Anniversary

Holding A Nationwide Informational Picketing Event

American Airlines flight attendants, represented by the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) are sounding the alarms today by informational picketing systemwide on a historic date commemorating the Flight Attendant Strike of 1993, a strike which effectively shut down the carrier’s operation 25 years ago.

“It’s unbelievable that we are here twenty-five (25) years later still fighting for fair and equitable working conditions for our flight attendants,” said APFA National President Bassani. “Our members chose this historic date to show their extreme dissatisfaction with the failed scheduling systems, a punitive new sick policy and continued contract and seniority violations,” Bassani continued.

APFAs 27,000+ members are a diverse group of flight attendants spanning multiple legacy airlines. They will join together to demonstrate in 15 airports across the country from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. local time.

This is informational picketing only and is not a strike, work stoppage or any other job action. Picketing will take place at airport locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Charlotte, Miami, Raleigh-Durham, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, New York, Washington D.C. and Chicago.

The flight attendants say the pickets are intended to protest oppressive work schedules, failed scheduling systems, punitive sick policy, contract and seniority violations.
