@flyingwithsara.bsky.social
Union Flight Attendant since 1996 and president of the Flight Attendant Union, @afacwa.org, 55k at 20 airlines. Sanders Institute fellow. @unionnow.org founder. (she/her)
Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Horizon Air flight attendants on the picket line. Our union workers have always shown up for Alaska – I’ll always show up for them by fighting for better wages, safer workplaces, and their right to organize and collectively bargain.
Early voting starts tomorrow! My CWA friends, @afacwa.org Prez @flyingwithsara.bsky.social and PHEW VP Cook, took some time to stretch with me before we get out to vote. It's always good to be prepared. All you need to vote is a government-issued photo ID! votejustinj.com/vote
Shuttered companies find “an unexpected asset: operational exhaust—the digital leftovers that pile up across years of work… every Slack joke, Jira ticket, email documentation in employees’ multi-terabyte Google Drives—as training data for the next generation of AI” www.forbes.com/sites/annato...

We stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social and every person targeted by this out of control administration. This is an attack on all of our rights. We cannot be silent as the president uses agencies as tools for political retribution. An injury to one is an injury to all
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
BOYCOTT ALERT. @sbworkersunited.org deserve a fair contract. Starbucks can’t be trusted to serve good coffee until there’s a union contract. Delete your app and find a local coffee shop! #NoContractNoCoffee
Congratulations @uaw.org President Shawn Fain and the entire UAW United ticket! Thank you, UAW members!
The FAA recently proposed a rule relaxing its requirements around what items are mandatory in an onboard emergency medical kit (EMK). The rule is not yet final. Here’s why our union opposes this proposed rule.
“We thank the lawmakers for their swift action in their oversight role, as they recognize the immediate concern for our Spirit members... [we also] thank them for recognizing the dangerous precedent it could set.” @flyingwithsara.bsky.social More: afacwa.org/congress-spi... (2/2)
121 Members of Congress, led by @warren.senate.gov & @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social, are sounding the alarm on the proposed sale of Spirit Workers' Data to Google. This is a pivotal moment in the fight to protect workers’ data & privacy amid unregulated AI. (1/2)
What a damning report of the economic destruction ICE has left in its wake—recession-like conditions for local economies, small businesses forced to shutter, and a rise in unemployment. ICE must be reined in and held accountable. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/07/i...
ICE came to town and left behind weakened economies
Research links ICE enforcement surges to lasting declines in local spending, foot traffic and jobs. In Minneapolis, businesses are still recovering.

I will forever love our Spirit @afacwa.org members (“Bees”) and find inspiration in the way they fought for each other with great SPIRIT. As they find their new homes I was lucky enough to pin wings and welcome 23 of them to United AFA as “Blue Bees” alongside 79 Newbies! #SolidaritySpiritForever
Thank you @afacwa.org @flyingwithsara.bsky.social for sending a letter to @alaskaairlinesrev.bsky.social in support of Flying Food Group workers who prepare meals for their flights. Solidarity forever!
Look what you did @courtneyrose.bsky.social ! Your hard work paying off!
Congratulations to @congressunion.bsky.social on achieving the first ever contract for Congressional staff. No surprise that @RepRoKhanna is leading the way in respecting collective bargaining and reaching agreement on this historic contract. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

It took four years, but a Capitol Hill office finally has a union contract
Staffers for Rep. Ro Khanna recently ratified a collectively bargained agreement after protracted negotiations.

We cheered on all 79 who graduated and now join or rejoin us in the sky. Also in the class were former AFA members from Endeavor and ATA. Many former Spirit Flight Attendants who were already flying at United also pinned wings and welcomed their former flying partners back!
This is the first big class of Spirit Flight Attendants graduating since the shutdown. As a 30 year Untied Flight Attendant, our AFA International President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social had the honor of pinning the wings of several former Spirit Flight Attendants.
Today marks exactly 5 months since Spirit Airlines ceased flying & thousands of AFA Flight Attendants’ wings were suddenly clipped. Yesterday, 23 of these former Spirit FAs regained their wings at United. Congratulations Class 2633! Welcome (back!) to the skies 💙🐝🌐
Join us next for our Labor Rally with @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, @afacwa.org, @cwaunion.bsky.social, on Saturday at 10 AM at 3681 S Mendenhall Road!
Last night, our friends at CWA hosted me and the broader labor movement in Memphis at Tom and Tanya's beautiful home. Together, we will create a more pro-worker America. We, the people, are the ones who can make that a reality.
We're all Flight Attendants, but the day to day at each airline may look a little different. Krisandra takes you on a day in her life as an AFA Frontier Flight Attendant. P.S. Frontier Flight Attendants don’t yet get paid for boarding — it’s one of the things we're fighting for in the new Contract.
We’re grateful for Senators Warren’s and Markey’s support as we organize to secure our union – but we won’t hold our breath waiting for management to respond. We know our rights and will continue to organize for our union. Learn more at deltaafa.org
It’s not your fault when you get sick! 🤧😷 But that doesn’t stop Delta management from punishing us for it - Only a union contract will give us a seat at the table to lock in a fair sick time policy. Sign or update your card, let’s get OUR union! ✊ #DeltaFlightAttendant #SickPolicy #UnionStrong
Time to show the power of workers in TN-09 💪🏾 Join AFA-CWA President @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, VP Margaret Cook, & me for a rally & canvass kickoff at our campaign HQ in Memphis! ➡️ Sat, Oct 3, 10 AM - 2 PM CDT Remember to register to vote by Oct. 5th! RSVP: act.votejustinj.com/cwa

"Tuberville wants to focus on anything except the real problems facing the American public, [cost of fuel]. He could end the Iran War...but instead he's calling Care Bear “violent” to try to distract people from the problems he helped create." - @flyingwithsara.bsky.social
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.
Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1
Celebrating the histories, cultures, contributions, and achievements of Hispanic American Flight Attendants and their families to the U.S. Happy #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth!
HEY FRONTIER MANAGEMENT, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? 🗣️🗣️🗣️ AFA Frontier Flight Attendants brought their Contract fight to management’s doorstep during yesterday’s picket at Frontier HQ. No more excuses. No more delays. Claws out, Contract NOW!
