yeah we're really kicking but in big LABOR

Yeah that’s why unions as a whole have been shrinking year after year …

I’m a baggage handler for a major us airline , my job is unpleasant , and right now if you compare my pay to the other major airlines in the industry I’m dead last , but at least I make more pay and have healthcare compared against the non union guys at the service companies . Have any of you heard of service air ? A contract company , they pay their workers 8.80 an hour , no health care , no travel benefits . I saw some of their workers doing a contract that my company used to have and it was work that I and others used to perform . I saw two men doing the work of what had at a minimum been the work of 4 guys , three in an emergency . They were getting swamped with bags , so many bags , you could tell by looking at the guys their sprit was broken . I even asked one of their workers why they didn’t come work for my company , he mentioned that he had been fired from another company that we contract out to so he was pretty sure we wouldn’t hire him . It made me want to cry seeing these men work so hard for almost nothing .Unions aren’t perfect , but damn , there’s got to be a better way than leaving Americans to the mercy of these corporations that don’t have a heart nor soul .
