Unions Winning Votes on the Ground

Unions aren't dying; they're getting murdered. This is how.

American Airlines lobbied for a law change to fight unionization. Under the old law, if 35% of workers signed a union card, then a vote had to be held to determine if the workers wanted to form a collective bargaining unit. American Airlines got that raised to 50% of workers. Communications Workers of America claims they got the 35% of America Airlines’ passenger service employees signed up before the law was changed and that the law wasn’t retroactive anyway. Stay tuned.

I think the passenger service reps are the only employees at American who are not yet represented. Wouldn't more content counter staff makes life more pleasant for all of us?
