Excerpt from Joe's Union Review :

"Today, on the news, they said the cancellations may get worse. Worse? How can they get worse? What are they going to do? Take your luggage and then punch you in the face, too?" --Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, April 10th.The airline industry which the tax paying people of the US bailed out in 2001, is screwing us all over again, our lives hang in the balance in this ever greedy corporate world, where the entire idea of putting profits over people, the lawful duty of a corporation, is destroying our world.
Since the 911 bailout, the airline industry has successfully sent highly skilled and FAA certified American jobs to other parts of the world where they don't even need FAA certification.
Unions, who some claim have overstayed their welcome, still are fighting the good fight to equalize the playing field for the common man.
Without union involvement and the help of whistle blowers acting out against the social injustices of corporations, the world would be much worse off.
