Union Labels DL as the "Airline of the 1%"
Union Labels DL as the "Airline of the 1%"
I saw this in the news...take take for what you will... I know there are those completely for and completey against unions, especially WRT DL and the AFA. I found some of the comments at the bottom amusing. I think most of us have had good and bad service from union and non-union staff. Although no PDB's, in my experience at least, has generally been with PMNW crews. As a paying passenger, I may fly a lot, but it's mostly on cheap "99%" fares paid by me. robin |
So, what exactly are they trying to add to the FAA funding bill?

Not sure the specifics - but apparently if adopted, it will become somewhat more difficult to win employee votes for union representation (something Delta apparently would prefer). |

I'm assuming it's labor-related. It's always baffled me how unrelated and related items end up on the bills our legislature drafts...

IIRC proposal is to link / add language to the bill that relates to Airlines and Railroads and changes to how voting to organize labor is done.

Any time a labor union criticizes you, you're doing something right...^

I would think an airline like OpenSkies would be the 1%, not DL! :D

I think they want to change it back to how it was before - Obama had something passed when he came to office - I can't remember all the specifics that made mafia unions easier to vote in.
Current rule: to organize a union, the pro-union vote needs to be a majority of all workers voting. Thus, it is easier to organize under the current rule. The Republicans want to change back to the former rule. |

If U.S. airline union members are unhappy with their lot, I suggest they move to AsiaAir, Ryan Air, or EasyJet. They are looking for people. robin |
DaddyRabbit,
There are reasons I avoid those airlines. ;) |

It is called hiding the pork. An age old American way of slipping things through that do not have the steam to pass on their own. Think Trojan Horse.

whatever happened to the flight attendants bid to join the union? Did the National Mediation board decide that there had to be a re-vote?
