Breeze Flight Attendants are organizing for a contract

We’re making it official—Breeze Flight Attendants are organizing a union to become members of the Association of Flight Attendants, CWA (AFA).

We are the face of Breeze Airways, and the airline couldn’t fly without us.

But you’d never know it from the way management treats us.

We’re organizing a union because with a union and contract in black and white WE have a real say in how things will work at Breeze. Once we’ve voted to form our union with AFA, we’ll work together to decide what issues we want addressed to negotiate a contract that gives us clear rules, fair compensation, and a real voice at Breeze now, and as it grows.

You’ve probably already heard some of management’s lies about a union. We’re not going to repeat them. But here’s the truth: more than eighty percent of Flight Attendants in the United States have a union, from the major carriers like United and Alaska to smaller airlines like GoJet and Frontier. There’s a good reason for that—with a union contract, Flight Attendants can stand up for ourselves and our profession at our company and with the government agencies that oversee so much of our work as safety professionals.

You know the issues because we talk about them all the time as flying partners. No monthly hour guarantees. Constant changes to the playbook. Hotels that are dirty and long layovers at hotels far from any amenities. Pay that doesn’t pay the bills—including a “raise” that left some of us earning even less.

Together, we can change all of that. We are organizing for a real voice on the job and a fair share of the value we create for Breeze.

Forming a union is straightforward. When a strong majority of us sign a union authorization card, we’ll file for an election. When a majority of us vote for the union, then the National Mediation Board (NMB, the government agency that oversees organizing and contract bargaining for airlines) will legally recognize us as Breeze AFA, and the rights that come with that. We’ll choose our leaders, set our goals and negotiate with Breeze management. Once we reach a tentative contract, we’ll vote again. If a majority of us approve the deal, we’ll have our first contract and only then will we contribute union dues to enforce that contract and advance our careers at Breeze and through the federal rules that define our jobs.

And all along the way, we’ll have the support, expertise, guidance and resources of THE Flight Attendant Union, AFA.
