State Senator Nathan Johnson needs working families for his re-election

Congratulations to Fighting Flight Attendants

Elections aren't the only sphere of struggle for working families. On February 13, Thirty cities saw flight attendants rally against airline management's stalling on their contracts. Our own Transport Workers Union Local 556 and their friends rallied at Love Field. This photo came in from the Actors Union, SAG-AFTRA.
