National Safety Committee Chair Chrissy Padgett talks about the upcoming Communicating For Safety (CFS) Conference, union activism, and the importance of working together. She talks about how NATCA members’ day-to-day work is affected by the discussions and collaboration that takes place at CFS, and what she’s looking forward to most about the conference for 2022. “Everything we do is part of that union spirit — that is, we work together, regardless of whether it’s internal to NATCA or it’s external and collaboratively with many different counterparts,” she says. “It’s about talking together and working together.”
