President Mike Perrone On Public Service Recognition Week

Details: Published: July 09, 2013

As we look around the country this week, particularly at public servants who work on all levels of government to ensure safety, security and services vital to all Americans, it is important to recognize the invaluable contributions that these dedicated individuals make every day.

Public servants are all around you. Not only are they ensuring your safety in the air and on the ground, they are protecting your streets and homes, fighting wildfires across the country, educating your children, delivering your mail and medicine for the elderly, processing your taxes, inspecting your food, picking up your trash, providing health care services, and defending your country. These men and women work every day-many on the front lines in dangerous conditions-in order to best serve this country. No amount of thanks will suffice for these public servants.

In particular, PASS commends the 11,000 employees at the Federal Aviation Administration who work tirelessly 24-7 to ensure the safety of the flying public. PASS remains committed to fighting to secure decent pay, benefits and safe working conditions for our members. We are dedicated to ensuring the best for you so you can continue ensuring the safety of the flying public.

With sincere gratitude, we thank all of our members and all public servants for their commitment and dedication to this country.
