The IBT provides some organization and resources, but when it comes time to defend an aviation group and really support them- the stuff that costs money for lawyers and such- they seam to end the support quite fast. They are more interested in collecting your dues than really providing service. That is why NetJets started their own union- the money that was sent to the IBT wasn't ever going to come back to be used when needed and the union could only be as strong as the local could be without much help from the overall body- most of the times help was asked it was denied. I'm not saying they have no use and that every group should make their own union, but I don't believe they provide the service they should.
