August 28, 2024 Day Of Action – Virtual Picketing

Written by Admin | Aug 27, 2024 4:04:15 PM

We will be Unleashing Our Power on Wednesday, August 28th, at our next Day of Action! This is an information picketing like no other! We will announce our Strike Authorization Vote results LIVE on the picket line! Join us at an airport near you. RSVP today.

If you’re scheduled to work or won’t be able to attend a picketing event in person, you are still encouraged to participate in our Day of Action. Show your support 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 #ContractNow, #PayUsOrChaos, #WhateverItTakes, and #EnoughisENOUGH; tag or mention @AFAUnitedMEC; and set your post to public so others can see your message.
