Corporations put profits first, don't listen to voice of frontline employees @TWU556 @TWUlocal555 & @swapapilots. @SouthwestAir workers endured pandemic, brought aviation back while flagging IT issues that led to #Meltdown. Public suffers. PASS supports our sisters & brothers!
The @washingtonpost editorial board reaffirms what TWU members have long known: when carriers like @SouthwestAir prioritize Wall Street above all else, passengers and workers always lose.
With fellow labor organizations, .@TWU550 .@TWUlocal555 .@TWU556 We’ve been trying to draw attention to #MisguidedPriorities of .@SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan & Exec Chair .@gary_kelly for years. It’s more than delayed contract negotiations, it’s #SavingSouthwest
@AtSouthwest I think @swapapilots would want this shared here...
💥”I recognize that Southwest’s employees,from customer service agents to ground staff to flight crews, are working extremely hard, under trying circumstances, to help the airline return to normalcy.These frontline employees are not to blame for mistakes at the leadership level.”
My letter to Southwest’s CEO reiterates what we are requiring them to do when it comes to reimbursements for flights, baggage, ground transport, hotels, and meals. We will follow through to make sure these promises are kept. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…
The @washingtonpost editorial board reaffirms what TWU members have long known: when carriers like @SouthwestAir prioritize Wall Street above all else, passengers and workers always lose.
New Washington Post Editorial: Southwest put investors ahead of its customers and employees washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
What Southwest has done to travelers and it’s crews is completely unconscionable. The DOT needs to take a serious look at the industry as a whole but this Southwest meltdown in particular. Changes that are pro-worker and pro-passenger must be made!
Statement by Randy Barnes, President of TWU Local 555 Representing Ground Workers at #SouthwestAirlines tinyurl.com/2m4lqkn2 @transportworker @AFLCIO
.@SouthwestAir paying out stock dividends leading up to this crisis is akin to hanging with highfalutin pals, spending tons of 💰💰while your house is falling apart, you don't pay the heating bill, and your family has frostbite. That's what lowlifes do. Feel the $LUV
The union for Southwest ground crews says a lot of workers have been working 16- to 18-hour days and some got frostbite in sub-zero temps this past week. TWU Local 555 President Randy Barnes:
Randy Barnes, President of @TWUlocal555 , joined the AWF Union Podcast and talked about high staff turnover at Southwest Airlines and how their new business model may cause more flight delays and cancellations. Listen now: bit.ly/3BLEqsz
Outrage from some .@SouthwestAir passengers due to this pilots quip, even boycott threats. But where’s the outrage about SWA’s harsh treatment of its workers? Where’s the outrage against .@TWU556 FAs being consistently harassed and assaulted on your flights? Only Silence huh?
Fine. I’ll email @SouthwestAir and ask for comment on the whole “let’s go Brandon thing.”
We need the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act now! The future of Amtrak and passenger rail depends on it.
Here's how the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will benefit Amtrak workers and the communities they serve. @TCUnionHQ @transportworker @MachinistsUnion @unitehere #IIJA
@LorenaSGonzalez @elonmusk I really wish all our leaders were as strong as you
He’s moving to avoid income tax, which he owes to CA taxpayers. At the same time, he’s expanding production at Tesla’s Fremont plant. He’s a grifter billionaire and now wants to cry his way to TX because I mean tweeted? No, it’s about $. Give me a break. Tell the whole story. 2/2
Just a reminder: @elonmusk said he was moving his HQs to Texas 18 months ago bc of our state’s Covid protections. He violated public health orders & forced workers back. He made $200 billion thanks to subsidies from CA taxpayers. Yes, that inspired me to tweet “F*ck Elon Musk.”1/
The great-truth teller: @AMFANational was powerless to beat Southwest and maintain AMT scope into Hawaii. The work is now outsourced and AMFA agreed to it. So they’re either weak, or sellouts, or both. @transportworker protected and increased all our Scope. Strength in Unity 👍.
This morning, President @LizShuler is meeting with @twu_555 and @TWU556 at @LASairport — hearing about their fight for better treatment at work, especially during the #COVID19 pandemic!
"This is a victory for blue collar workers and also for the security of U.S. airline passengers, because if AMFA had succeeded, a lot of maintenance work would soon be done on foreign soil." @twu_555 @TWU556 @AFLCIO @TTDAFLCIO
@ZubyMusic This is the most beta shit I've ever seen. "I'm totally not threatened by you not at all. But here let me go out of my way to show you why I'm stronger but no I'm totally not threatened" Lifting all those weights and you're still weak 🙃
