More on Labor Day


Labor Day 2009

"just my thoughts on it and some appreciation”  by Michael Broadhead

I woke up today thinking about the fact that it is Labor Day. I began to think about all things that are in my life due to those who work in “labor”. Very quickly the list was several pages long. I was amazed at how quickly I had just taken it all for granted, the houses, condos, apartments, streets, sidewalks, airplanes, the nations defense, trains, buses, cars, food, water, electricity, hotels, pools, bridges, stadiums, clothing, bars, office buildings, shopping areas, sidewalks, airports and the list just went on and on. We certainly would have nothing that we take for granted and use everyday had it not been for those willing to work in labor. I am in deep appreciation for all labor workers-and I thank every single one of you!

A Friend Indeed!

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 - DANA HEADING FOR A RUN OFF
Our friend Dana Kennedy ran a great campaign and will face District 6 incumbent Sal DiCiccio in a Nov. run off
 
Make no mistake about it Dana Kennedy is a friend of Flight Attendants. That is why it is important for Flight Attendants living in Phoenix's 6th District to help elect her to the Phoenix City Council this September.

I have worked closely with Dana in her role as AZ AFL-CIO Communications Director for a number of years and in that role she effectively communicated to the media and the labor community our fight with US Airways for a fair contract. She has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with us in picket lines. She is the real deal!
