Day of Action - Virtual Picketing!

Date: August 30, 2023

If you’re scheduled to work or won’t be able to make it to a picketing event in person, you can still participate in our Day of Action. Help turn up the heat on social media and take part in our virtual picket!

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Download and Print a Picket Sign

• Download your choice of picket sign and print it so you’ll have it with you on the day of the event.

Step 2: Take a Supportive Selfie

• Take a selfie with your sign, preferably in uniform! This is a great opportunity to involve your whole crew in the activity.

Important Note

Don’t take your selfie while on duty or on the aircraft. A great time to take a picture would be in the terminal after deplaning at the end of your trip or upon arrival at your layover hotel.

Step 3: Post Your Picture on Social Media

• While our informational picketing events are happening, post your picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! Use hashtags #RedHotSolidarity, and #FixUnited; tag or mention @AFAUnitedMEC; and set your post to public so others can see your message.
