We know complaining on social media makes us feel better in the moment but if you want to see change you need to send in an official report. We need details of the who, what, when, where, why and how. There are many forms available for various situations, such as ACF34-C, Crew Care, Health and Safety Forms, and AQD.  In addition, you can always go directly to your Local Union Office.
