TWU Activists Takes the Hill

More than 150 TWU activists and officers lobbied on Capitol Hill on May 5 to build support for federal legislation that would benefit union members and their families – including a bill that would allow all overtime earners to pay less in federal income taxes.

This is a top priority for us,” TWU International President John Samuelsen said. “We are laser-focused on the economic security of our members, and this legislation would save working families thousands of dollars a year.”

“Our Guest Service Agents are understandably upset and very concerned about their future. We will be doing everything we can to assist them through this traumatic time, including facilitating their transition to any available jobs at other airlines where the TWU represents workers. We also are demanding more information from the company on wages owed, unused vacation time, and benefits such as healthcare.”
