For Pride Month, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ Americans who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights. Today's Pride Month profile is Stan Kiino.
Stan Kiino originally began his career as a flight attendant at Pan Am and then joined United Airlines and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA) in 1986. Kiino fought for domestic partner benefits in San Francisco while at United in the '90s. He continues his advocacy today through AFA-CWA, Pride At Work, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance and various labor councils.
