Yep really speaks volumes of the value of IAM representation when the unorganized sCO passenger service employees are forced join/pay dues/agency fee to the IAM and after pronged negotiations many will need to move to simply remain employed. The IAM has faciliated the Wal-Martization of middle class airline jobs and keeps leading things downward. DL employees are in more stations and have enjoyed pay raises, profit sharing and productive relationship with their management. All the fat cats at DL 141 and IAM grand lodge are listing their way to the bank now while the members suffer and sacrifice meanwhile UA is solidly profitable. But in a few years based on this agreement the dues flow for the IAM will be considerably smaller as they have systematically eliminated their members, unless of course they are slated to represent the ground handler that takes over-Air Wisconsin, Hudson General and Swissport being the preferred "partners"
