For over a century, IWD has been a powerful reminder of the incredible contributions made by women and their persistence to turn obstacles into change in every aspect of life. It’s a day to celebrate women’s achievements, recognize their struggles, and advocate for gender equality. Women have shaped our world in countless ways—as everyday heroes, trailblazing leaders, and innovators. Born from the labor movements of the early 1900s, IWD has evolved into a worldwide movement owned by everyone who believes that women’s rights are human rights.

Spring is almost here (allegedly)! With spring comes seasonal allergies, Spring Break, and the introduction of more weather disturbances, including thunderstorms, flash floods, and tornadoes. This week’s Education Committee Fast Fact Friday (FFF) empowers our Members with contractual reminders about when the operation goes awry and Flight Attendants experience unscheduled overnights or being stranded. Contract 2024 introduced new language, so while we work our way into warmer weather (again, allegedly), let’s make sure we know all options afforded in our Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Also included in this email are updates and reminders pertinent to our everyday lives, both at work and home.
