The IAM is demanding that Congress make it a felony to assault Customer Service Agents while on duty. This is an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2016 (HR 4441). To make this happen, we need your help.
Please call House Transportation Committee members and tell them to support Representative Garamendi’s Airline Worker Assault Amendment before they vote this morning.
