CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The two largest U.S. flight attendant unions, representing more than 75,000 workers, endorsed Democratic candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday ahead of the U.S. presidential election next week.

The unions have been pressing Congress and Republican President Donald Trump to back $25 billion in additional payroll assistance to prevent 32,000 airline furloughs.

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing the 27,000 American Airlines flight attendants, and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA that represents about 50,000 workers at 20 airlines, said in separate statements they were endorsing Biden.
============================================================
Elections have been won with less votes.
 
Unions supporting a democrat, oh my this is huge news.

If they think Biden will bail out the airlines after the fraud they pulled they are fooling themselves
 
Huge trade unions love Democrats because Democratic policies benefit their employees. This should not surprise anyone.

And Republicans are anti-union.

Most of these people have been furloughed so they are motivated to vote against Trump who has done nothing about the pandemic.
