The two largest U.S. flight attendant unions, representing more than 75,000 workers, endorsed Democrat Joe Biden on Tuesday ahead of the U.S. presidential election next week.

The unions have been pressing Congress and Republican U.S. President Donald Trump to back $25 billion in additional payroll assistance to prevent 32,000 airline furloughs.

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing the 27,000 American Airlines flight attendants, and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA that represents about 50,000 workers at 20 airlines, said in separate statements they were endorsing Biden.

The upside.

Is that if Biden is elected. there will soon not be enough private air travel to support a union of Stewardesses.

Why support Biden? I thought ass grabbing and sniffing flight personnel was verboten for politicians too.

No big surprise.

“International” travel is noted as favored by folks claiming to be “broad minded” and/or “open minded”.

But to far to many of that set, those terms equate to having no definitive personal principles other than those terms.

It equates to an “open mind” with nothing very strongly its own.

So, how will shutting down the oil business effect the airline industry? Oh well, steward/esses, at least Wendy’s is hiring most of the time. Of course, maybe not with the Dims in control, though.

They can work as stewards on board the new high-speed green rail network that Biden’s going to build out of rainbows and power on unicorn flatulence.

I’m sure the ‘Union’ is endorsing Biden but the individuals are going to vote for their jobs ...
