Get Involved! Phone Bank, Human Rights Conference, and Heat Protections

Support AFA-CWA’s Kaela Berg for Congress

Kaela Berg is an AFA-CWA union Flight Attendant and state representative running to represent Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District! Please join CWAers across the country to help turn out the vote ahead of Kaela’s primary election in mid-August.

In the Minnesota State House, she worked to fully fund Minnesota’s schools, prevent gun violence, protect health care, and end union busting.

Now, she wants to take that fight to Washington to lower the cost of groceries, healthcare, and housing. She believes the wealthiest must pay their fair share, that healthcare access should be protected, and that we must strengthen our education system.

Join us on Thursday, August 6, at 7pm ET/6pm CT/5pm MT/4pm PT for a virtual phone bank. Register here: CWA.org/Kaela.

Tell Congress to Protect Workers From Dangerous Heat

Extreme heat has engulfed the nation, with cities coast-to-coast breaking all-time heat records this summer. But while workers continue to face dangerous and potentially deadly working conditions, anti-worker leaders in Congress are quietly attempting to stop any heat safety protection laws from being passed, now or in the future.

H.R. 6213, the misnamed Heat Workforce Standards Act, would prohibit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from creating or enforcing any national heat safety law.

Tell Congress to protect workers from heat—and not block heat safety protections. Dial 844-937-2517 or fill out the form on this page to make a call.

Visit aflcio.org/heat to find resources on how to protect yourself and your co-workers from extreme temperatures.
