[ONLINE] – The Great Stewardess Rebellion
Flight Attendant Labor Activism in History and Today
- Virtual
- 3PM 鈥 4PM EDT
Flight attendants have been the face of our air travel for decades. Yet in those decades, they have had to fight vigorously to be paid fairly, treated equally, and even be allowed to get married or have children and keep their job.听
While it may surprise some to consider flight attendants as 鈥渕ilitant union leaders, passionate organizers, or aggressive litigators鈥, it has proven true not only throughout their industry鈥檚 history, but well into the modern day. This is embodied now in the stories such as the current push by Delta flight attendants to create a union, which would be one of the largest unions created in recent history.
To understand the whirlwind story of flight attendant mobilization, joins 国产视频 to share the compelling narratives in history that brought the flight attendant career to where it is today.听
But what exactly is the state of the flight attendant career today? also joins the conversation to connect the historical battles with the current day battles for flight attendant worker activists across the country and globe.听
And to bring the history, current events, and labor movement鈥檚 future to life, will share the story from the ground鈥攁nd the sky鈥攁s the world watches to see where the journey of flight attendant labor activism will soar to next.听
