Shop Steward/Volunteer Organizer
Janna Morton is a worker and member of CRSH’s worker committee. She has been working at the American Airlines Admirals Club at the Philadelphia Airport as a lounge attendant for 3 1/2 years. She has been involved as a worker committee leader with Unite Here Local 274 for the last 2 1/2 years. The decision to join her union as a leader was for her a no brainer. Her former employer was breaking several laws and her healthcare was extremely expensive. After working with her own coworkers to improve their working conditions, she has taken a taken on a more active role with her union as an organizer because she wants to help other workers with the issues she faced and still faces today, including sexual harassment.
