Spirit Airlines workers lost their jobs. Now the company wants to sell their private data to AI companies — and the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) is fighting back.
AFA President Sara Nelson joins Status Coup’s JT Cestkowski to discuss the union’s fight over sensitive employee information, including emails about medical issues and family emergencies. She challenges claims that stripping workers’ names from the data will protect them and explains why workers everywhere have a stake in this fight.
The union is demanding safeguards in bankruptcy court, preparing protections other unions can negotiate, and pushing airlines to come to the table NOW instead of waiting for the next contract. Nelson also discusses organizing toward May Day 2028, the possibility of a general strike, and how workers can use their collective power to force corporations and lawmakers to act.
