The 1950s, like many of us want to go back to, had the highest percentage of Union Workers, and the average worker got a salary MUCH more similar to their CEO, than they do now. Since then, the laws, rules and regulations, have been changed to favor PROFITS Over People, and most of us have gotten screwed big time.

If we change the paradigm, then workers will get their fair share of their organization's profits, instead of continually getting screwed like we are now.The 1950s, like many of us want to go back to, had the highest percentage of Union Workers, and the average worker got a salary MUCH more similar to their CEO, than they do now.

Simple answer, vote with your boots, FedEx, UPS, ABX are all hiring with a better pay scale. Harder answer, form an Independent Pilots Association. Teamsters are for the Teamster management and always have been. They do okay butting heads for truck drivers but have never done well in highly skilled labor talks, that's why UPS and NetJets both dumped them.
