Transport Workers Union
Variant namesThe Transport Workers Union (TWU) was founded in 1934. It represents workers in several different transportation and service industries. The TWU is affilliated with the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF). The TWU is organized on the international, industrial and local levels. The Association of Flight Attendants (AFL-CIO) began as the Airline Stewardesses Association on August 22, 1943. After several transformations it became the AFA in 1973 and was granted an AFL-CIO charter in 1989. Today it represents 26 airlines. Both the TWU and AFA have attempted to organize the Delta flight attendants. As of September 2001, the matter of representation will be voted upon soon in a NLRB election.
