If compensation is so low--Why do you need a union to protect your wages?
If compensation is so low--Why don't you switch jobs where you are paid what you think you are worth?
I agree with Vulcan. An employee taking a BF seat and sticking the loyal customer in coach is no different than the bus boy stealing the best cut of prime rib--leaving the dry end-cut for the paying customer.
