AirWaves Podcast Ep 6: COPE, Fighting for Tax Breaks and Your Priorities in Government

From putting more money back in your pocket to serving as our collective voice on Capitol Hill, one of the many benefits of our Unionized workgroup is representation from the TWU’s Committee on Political Education (COPE). In this must-watch episode of Airways, TWU Local 556 leaders break down how the COPE fights for Flight Attendants. From battling for tax deductions on overtime to securing secondary cockpit barriers and lactation accommodations in the FAA reauthorization, COPE is our front line in the legislative arena. Because Union dues cannot be used for political campaigns by law, Members’ voluntary contributions to the COPE fund are utilized to build relationships with lawmakers—from ALL parties—who support Flight Attendants' issues. Find out more about how COPE helps ensure that when laws are written, Flight Attendants' perspectives are not ignored. #TWU556 #AirWaves #Podcast #FlightAttendants #Union
