Narrative:

We hit turbulence in while working in the aft of our A321 and there are only 2 single jumpseats in rear of aircraft when there are at least 3 fas back there. They can't get to the jumpseat at 3L because they can't walk it was so bumpy. We need double jumpseats at 4L and 4R with 4 seatbelt harnesses to keep our cabin crew safe! The aircraft is not safe for working crew until this is completed! If we hit turbulence then all fas onboard need to have an immediate seat to harness into for their safety. Aircraft is not safe for working cabin crew until this issue is addressed.
