Sara Nelson highlights that ten years ago, the labor movement was struggling, and the narrative depicted it as outdated. She emphasizes that awakening workers to their collective power has been essential in changing this perspective.
Nelson's advocacy for a strike during the 2019 government shutdown showcased the significant influence of flight attendants in national discussions, effectively using their bargaining power to negotiate for critical policies benefiting workers.
By rallying flight attendants and drawing a clear line between the corporate elite and the working class, Nelson created a narrative that fosters solidarity across various industries and backgrounds, emphasizing that injustices to one affect all.
Nelson's leadership has led to substantial achievements, including a 32% average pay raise for Alaska Airlines flight attendants and ongoing efforts to unionize Delta flight attendants, marking pivotal victories in labor rights.
