Tell the US Senate to Protect Workers Rights

On Friday, the House of Representatives voted 248 to 169 to adopt the FAA reauthorization bill with the attack on our collective bargaining rights, the future of our contracts and our right to gain representation.

The US Senate can stop this complete obliteration of the Railway Labor Act and our rights. They will vote on Monday - we can't waste a minute.

Corporate interests launched this sneak attack, using the FAA reauthorization bill to gut 75 years of workers’ rights in the aviation and rail industries. We are calling on all AFA members to stand up and fight back. It will take all of us to defeat this insidious attack on you and your family. The US Senate can prevent this unrelated labor provision from becoming law.

Make your voice heard now!

Via Phone: Call both of your U.S. Senators (you have two!!) - use the Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121. Or, you can text FAA to 69866 to get connected to your Senator about the FAA bill.

Hello, my name is _____ and I am a constituent. I am calling to ask my Senator to vote NO on the FAA reauthorization bill that contains an unrelated labor provision that would gut collective bargaining rights for aviation and rail workers. This has no place in a bill for funding of aviation safety, heath and security. Vote NO to protect me, my family and our country. Thank you.

After calling your Senators (call today and Monday), sign the petition. We are directly petitioning President Obama to veto any FAA reauthorization bill that includes provisions that endanger workers’ contracts and right to organize. You can go to http://wh.gov/kQH and sign the petition.

After your calls and signing the petition, spread the word to your colleagues, friends and family. We cannot allow this sneak attack to destroy our future. They won't stop here. The 1% has the money, but we have the people power. Show them we won't let them take any more! We are Standing Up, Fighting Back!
