Airline workers — pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, baggage handlers, and more — represent a huge cross-section of the country. And for decades, they’ve used their unions to fight not just for better working conditions, but for civil rights, charting a course that leads right up to today. In this episode, we turn an eye to the sky to see how American unions took flight.
Guests:
Ryan Murphy, author of Deregulating Desire, Flight Attendant Activism, Family Politics, and Workplace Justice
Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA
Stan Kiino, a flight attendant and member of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA
