Movement Back into the Union Movement
with
Sara
Nelson, President of the Association of Flight Attendants who
denounced Trump’s government shutdown for endangering airline security and
forcing workers to labor without pay and told her fellow labor leaders, “to end
this shutdown with a general strike!”
she became America’s Most Powerful Flight Attendant and a rising star of the labor movement.
and
Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, President of the New York State Nurses Association
(NYSNA), New York's largest nurses' union which has become known for their
support of Medicare for All. They’ve taken their service-oriented union work and
further extended it for community needs.
and
Bianca Cunningham a staff writer and organizer at Labor Notes Magazine who got her start in the labor movement as a Verizon retail worker—she
was a leader in the 2014 drive that won a union at seven stores, breaking into
wireless retail for the first time in company history. Those workers went on to
win their first union contract when they joined landline workers in the 2016
Verizon strike.
