- Hello once again my friends We have filled the house to
- capacity Thank you Montana Thousands more are waiting outside to get in
- Oh don't worry We haven't forgotten about him and neither has the senator nor the congresswoman But first please
- welcome to the stage the international president of the Association of Flight Attendants CWA Sarah Nelson
- 8:04
- Good afternoon
- Missoula My name is Sarah Nelson I'm the president of the Association of Flight Attendants CWA We are 55,000 strong at
- 20 airlines Right now United Airlines
- flight attendants are fighting for an industryleading contract that's long overdue
- And our union is fighting the greedy business model that keeps some flight
- attendants paid at 45% less doing the same
- job These are flight attendants like the flight attendants in Toronto who safely
- evacuated 80 people from a plane after it crash landed and turned upside down
- We are aviation's first responders and we are also proud that
- 9:04
- 29,000 Delta flight attendants are organizing right now to join our union and get their first union
- contract Our fight is the same fight as the entire working class Ever since
- Ronald Reagan fired the air traffic controllers in
- 1981 unions have been on the decline removing the one check we all have on
- corporate greed They've stolen our money and our
- time They've pushed us out of our homes into medical debt and attacked our right
- to an education
- Income inequality is worse today than it was just before the Great
- 10:02
- Depression So picture this If you stack $100 bills do any of us in this room
- know what those look like but if you stack $100 bills high enough
- to reach one of our flights at 35,000 ft that's nearly seven miles in the air It
- would only be enough $100 bills to equal just 3% of Elon Musk's worth
- That's after he took the hit from the take down Tesla actions I should say
- that's the take
- down breaking our government by firing federal workers including veterans
- 11:03
- Canceling union contracts for almost a million workers Dismantling our public post
- office that's older than our constitution and provides runs on not a single tax dollar
- and provides critical connectivity for our rural areas
- delivery of medicine to our seniors at equality in price for all Americans
- He's stealing our private data and pushing to privatize everything even the currency we use the
- US dollar It appears he answers to no one
- but that's not true He answers to the workers at X
- Tesla and SpaceX when they form their union
- 12:06
- He thinks he thinks that dismantling the NLRB will stop workers from organizing
- But he's wrong A 100 years ago workers didn't
- have legal rights They organized and built solidarity set their demands
- conducted mass strikes against the coal barons the textile industry the auto
- companies and at our docks There were general strikes in
- cities across our country That's the working class power
- that had corporations begging for stability with labor law It gave FDR the
- power to sign into law social security
- Workplace safety wage and hour protections the minimum wage and the
- 13:02
- right to join a
- union So take this in Musk and the other oligarchs have money and control but we
- have the power
- Nothing nothing nothing nothing can move without our labor and
- it's time to exercise our power in a united working class
- 14:04
- So Montana turn to the people around you Commit to call or text each other Say
- 'Hey there's a Tesla picket Let's meet up there.
