JetBlue Flight Attendants Vote To Join Transport Workers Union

Transport Workers Union has won a unionization election for JetBlue flight attendants.
The vote was 2,661 in favor and 1,387 opposed, said a union spokesman.
“The TWU intends to immediately commence contract bargaining with JetBlue,” Samuelsen said. “It is our sincerest wish that the company comes to the table and bargains a fair and just contract with the workers they employ.
“If JetBlue refuses to bargain in good faith, this union is prepared to engage in a fightback campaign that will continue until a contract is secured and the inflight crewmembers are protected,” Samuelsen said.
TWU filed for the flight attendant election in December 2017.
I'm shocked it was only 65% pro-union. That's not all that high.
Samuelson should have said "Since JetBlue has consistently demonstrated the inability to bargain in good faith, we unionized and are seeking immediate remedies."
