Message from AFA Midwest Express President Toni Phillips
CHAOS Strike Strike Deadline: August 30
Dear Fellow AFA Members,
As you are all aware by now the Midwest Express flight
attendants are facing a strike deadline at 12:01 a.m.
August 30. Even in the face of management threats,
the members are standing firm in their pursuit of a
first, legally binding agreement. In these final days
we are asking for the support and solidarity of all
our AFA sisters and brothers to help us achieve our
goal.
I am enclosing a calendar of events for you to share
with your fellow officers and members in the hopes
that you will be able to participate. In particular,
if you have any members who reside in the Kansas City
area we would like them to join us for a picket and
leaflet at the airport on August 23. Additionally,
we invite everyone to attend our Milwaukee rallies
on August 26 and 27 and the candlelight vigil on August
29 to show our members we''re not alone in this important
battle.
Some other ways you might assist us are:
Write resolutions of support for the Midwest Express
flight attendants and forward them to Midwest Express
CEO, Tim Hoeksema at FAX number: 414-570-0080. (Please
also fax a copy to the Midwest Express AFA CHAOS Command
Center at: 414-744-8187.)
Secure housing and buddy passes for our members participating
in *CHAOS* actions.
Midwest Express System Cities:

FLL, TPA, RSW, MSY, DFW, SAT, MCI, ATW, MSM, DSM, OMA,

Finally, a strike fund has been established for the
Midwest Express flight attendants. Anyone wishing to
contribute should contact James Perry in the Accounting
Dept. at the AFA International Dept.(1-800-424-2401

On behalf of all the Midwest Express flight attendants,
I would like to thank you for all your support and
participation.
In Solidarity,
Toni Phillips,
