Starting a union
I work for a smallish airline. We are a less than 200 pilot group . We want to unionize. We easily have 10% interest. We have spoken with both ALPA and Teamsters and both said we were too small for them to get involved.
The group got a suggestion to come up with cash for retainer for a labor lawyer and we passed around a hat at work. We got a number of people to commit money for a retainer but haven't had a lawyer bite yet.
Can a member here provide some advice on how to move forward? Has anyone done this before from the start?
