The flight attendants marched on the airport on the hottest day of the year in Seattle, but first stopped and chanted at the Alaska Airlines headquarters. They stood and continued chanting at the airport entrance for over an hour. The airport is dominated by Alaska Airlines planes.

Honks from workers driving trucks, buses and other transport vehicles never stopped.

The rally, march and mass picket showed the AFA members’ determination to struggle for what is rightfully theirs.

The flight attendants have promised a strategy of “CHAOS” — Create Havoc Around Our System, meaning unannounced work stoppages

That sounds really hardcore and disruptive. More power to then, but I hope the backlash isn't too extreme. It sounds like the sort of thing that could get you arrested in freedomland.
