October 17, 2024 Day Of Action – Virtual Picketing

Join us on October 17th in Chicago, IL, from 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM for our Informational Picketing event at Willis Tower. It's time to show United management that we are ready to take decisive action to secure the industry-leading Contract we have earned.  RSVP today.

If you’re scheduled to work or won’t be able to attend the 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 event is happening, post your picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! Use hashtags #ReadyToStrike #ContractNow, #PayUsOrChaos, and #WhateverItTakes; tag or mention @AFAUnitedMEC; and set your post to public so others can see your message.
