Bathing Suit Stunt In China Falls Flat With Flight Attendants Union

FA Candidates Required To Model Bikinis As Part Of Selection Process

Flight attendants in China last Monday were apparently required to model in bikinis as part of a flight attendant selection process.

The stunt did not sit well with the Association of Flight Attendants, CWA (AFA) International.

"If discrimination exists anywhere, it is a threat to women everywhere," AFA president Sara Nelson said in a statement released to the media. "This is not a fight just for the women of China. In this era of increased globalization and trade agreements that pit American workers against these abhorrent labor practices, our union understands this very real threat to Flight Attendants in the U.S. and around the world.

"We condemn those responsible for this publicity stunt at the expense of women everywhere. And we will engage with other unions, advocacy groups and anyone who defends equality to stamp out discrimination and the exploitation of women," Nelson said.

The Association of Flight Attendants is the world's largest flight attendant union.
