Teamsters Join Forces With PATCO Air Traffic Controllers

Before my current job I thought that unions were solely focused on improving the quality of life for their members. Though this is a worthwhile cause, I have since learned that they often work with employers to improve safety and operations (when the company is willing to listen).

This agreement could potentially go a long way towards improving safety. And hey, it can't hurt having unions work together to improve quality of life. At the very least, they will have a louder voice with politicians.
