And this is not just the mechanics, it is the custodians as well. Only a union man can threaten the safety of the public, the viability of his employer and at the end of the day still get his job back. Any of us do that, we would rightly be fired on the spot. As should the mechanics.
Except the AVERAGE wage is NOT $70K per year, it's $54K per year, which seems about right for the 2 to 3 yrs of schooling it takes to be an airplane mechanic. The avg custodian pay is $30K per year.
But, hey, don't let facts get in the way of your fantasy! No prpper elitist would ever do that!
