Pride Month is coming up. We look forward to this annual celebration all year long, and this year is no different. LGBTQ+ communities are under attack across the nation, & the Pride movement is one of the most visible, joyous, & important ways for us to fight back & take up space.

Contract before caviar. United announced a new premium product today at a media event at an undisclosed location. Our union protested the event to make clear that “Service doesn’t happen without us.”

Today, REAL ID is in effect at TSA checkpoints across the country, including Known Crewmember checkpoints. A passport or Global Entry card is REAL ID compliant. Make sure you tell your friends and family on your benefits about the change! Being REAL ID-ready will ensure smooth travels.

“Just like you don’t want the plane to leave if it had a mechanical problem, you don’t want the people who operate all the safety provisions onboard to [be unable] to operate them.” That's why we fight for duty limits in our contracts & federal regulations. www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

Today is #WorkersMemorialDay, an annual remembrance for workers who lost their lives on the job. We pause to remember Danasia Elder & Ian Epstein, while working a flight lost their lives suddenly on Jan. 29, when PSA Flight 5342 collided with a Blackhawk helicopter.

Journalists @thehill.com learned that one of their own was fired to appease Trump and stop a lawsuit. Nexstar, which owns The Hill, is gutting nonpartisan reporting, planning to lay off 30% of the newsroom, and caving to political pressure. We stand with The Hill Guild. Read their statement below:
