Dangerous theme park rides

Cameron — 14-year-old Tyre Sampson went to ICON Park, an amusement park in Florida, with friends for spring break. Tyre tragically died after he slipped out of his harness and fell out of a popular ride called the Free Fall. Desiree started a petition calling on Orlando's DA to look into ICON Park. She believes Tyre's death was caused by staff negligence. Add your name to push for better safety standards at amusement parks.

On March 24th 2022, 14 year old Tyre Sampson originally being from St Louis, MO went with friends and an adult Chaperone to Icon Park while vacationing in FL on a Football program.  Tyre and his friends would go on a ride called the "Free Fall" where the ride attendant/operators would display gross negligence leading young Tyre to Fall to his death. When we go to places like amusement parks and such we expect to be safe. We expect for the people in charge of operating these rides to make sure that we make it off the ride to talk about it. This Video has gone viral and now his family has to watch as the ICON PARK staff carelessly started a ride going 430 feet into the air without their beloved Tyre being properly secured in the seat. He fell to his death coming down at 75MPH because of Gross Negligence. Stand with Tyre Sampson , his Family & Friends and call for charges to be brought on the Icon Park Staff members responsible for his death!

Pay us for boarding

Cameron – Every day we hear horror stories about how hard it is to be a flight attendant in the middle of a pandemic. But did you know that while dealing with unruly passengers, they might be working for free? Flight attendants are only paid once the plane doors are shut. Domenica is a former flight attendant and she is demanding fair pay for people who keep us safe while flying around the world.

Flight Attendants Need to be Paid For Boarding

Flight attendants schedules were originally built off of railroad schedules. Currently there are no airlines in North America that compensate flight attendants for boarding. We only get clocked for our flight times. When the pilots pull the breaks. Not when we have customers on board or delays or mechanicals. Even though we are required by the FAA to complete specific job related safety procedures and interact with customers.

Since this is "free" time for the airlines, they are able to manipulate us as much as they would like. This makes us work longer hours, keeps us away from our homes longer, and puts significantly more stress on our bodies, and physical and mental health.

I want to leave aviation better than I left it. I know how much money our companies steal from us, and I know how much we deserve it. 

It is incredibly challenging to be a flight attendant. I hear it all of the time "I couldn't do what you do." We are professionals. Customer service experts. Energy experts. Time experts. We work really hard to keep planes moving on time and customers happy. Just like everyone else at these airlines.

We deserve to be compensated for the times when we are working. Our hourly rate looks amazing, but at the end of the day we are working under minimum wage for at least the first 5 years of our career. Adding on terrible rest rules, overwhelm from corporate emails, and unpaid time for paperwork, annual and quarterly training or being on airport standby.

In a perfect world we should be paid as soon as you step foot in the airport until your trip ended, but I will settle for pushing the needle to getting paid for boarding.

I would like to note that pilots are also not compensated for this time.

Thank you for your consideration, support and sharing this incredibly important matter.
