AFA-CWA’s Legislative goal is to pass laws to improve our jobs and workplace. Accomplishing this goal allows us to focus on bargaining with our employers to

improve other areas, including, wages and benefits. FlightPAC is a critically important tool to get us to that goal.

Why Does FlightPAC Need You?

Victories on Capitol Hill:Human Trafficking Awareness Training - AFA-CWA’s advocacy and campaign to train 100,000 Eyes in the Skies resulted in mandatory training that will enable Flight Attendants to recognize and respond to potential human trafficking events and/or victims.

OSHA Protection - For decades AFA-CWA has pursued legal and regulatory solutions to extend OSHA safety and health protections to workers in the airline

industry. Enforcement of new Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protections for Flight Attendants began on March 26, 2014, without our persistence and collaboration, this policy statement may not have come to fruition. It is our focused and expert work for Flight Attendants that achieved this historic result.

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) - AFA-CWA successfully lobbied to enact changes in law to clarify that full time Flight Attendants, including reserve Flight Attendants, have access to the same family medical leave rights as other full-time workers.

Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP) - AFA-CWA fought to authorize and fund the Flight Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP). FADAP’s mission is to support safety by helping Flight Attendants meet their personal and professional goals through substance-abuse awareness, combined with self and peer referrals for assistance, and the implementation of a Flight Attendant specific recovery support system.

Seniority Integration - AFA-CWA successfully worked with Senators Clare McCaskill and Kit Bond to protect seniority protections during airline mergers (McCaskill-Bond Amendment).
