I hate to pile on, but glancinng at the AA boards regarding this topic, it looks like the association said nothing about wages because, sadly, they're (still) negotiating uniforms and bulletin boards ... ... ...
See 1AA's post below:
The fact that the unions surrendered their LPPs and got nothinig in return tells me the unions were weak.
The fact that the court ruled in favor of APFA tells me that at least one of the union's legal team was weak.
If the union movement had political clout, shouldn't something like McCaskill-Bond law have been in place already?
