Thousands of airport workers in Chicago, Boston, New York City, Newark, Philadelphia, and Fort Lauderdale are expected to strike on Wednesday night and into Thursday.
The workers, mostly cabin and airport cleaners, are subcontracted by outside companies to work with various airlines, including JetBlue (JBLU), Delta (DAL) and United (UAL). They will be striking for new contracts, which include medical benefits and higher wages of $15 an hour.

Just wait to see who gets called in as replacements. There might be some newly arrived refugees looking for jobs.

Notice to unskilled subcontracted airport workers: there are thousands of potential unskilled undocumented airport workers just waiting for your subcontracted jobs.

Yeah! Whats a lefty to do? Support the unionization, or the poor hard working pure as the driven snow immigrant? You know they could never support an evil private business.

jobs as airport workers are about to open up

$15 an hour for an unskilled non-english speaking Somali grunt whose most recent job was probably as a Somali pirate? They shouldn’t even be allowed to work in an unsecured part of an airport.

I have given up flying until airports (and stewardesses) return to the 1970’s.

Fire them all. Give their jobs to illegal aliens. Then suddenly they’ll care about immigration.

Easter Egg Airlines:
Actually changed costume during flight and, as I remember it from '68, had flak jackets at the ready on approach to RVN.
