More than three thousand new
Members join the IAM
Thirty-two hundred workers at AirTran Airways chose to
be represented by the IAM on March 28, 2011.
This group represents a whopping forty-one percent
of the entire workforce at AirTran. It includes reservations
agents, passenger service agents, and ramp agents.
Led by District 141 Organizers Billy Kline, Fran Paci, Rick
Russo, and Gene Beatty, AirTran workers made the right decision
to unite. Dave Lehive and Mike Mancini were the professionals
behind the web and videos.
District 141 Director of Organizing, Tim Nelson said,
“AirTran put on a formidable anti-union campaign. Airline executives
hired Ford & Harrison, the top union-busting law firm.
But our new Brothers and Sisters at Airtran were determined.
They were ready to join the world’s largest airline
union. AirTran Members saw their battle for representation
right through to the end.
Steve Barfield, Atlanta Crew Member, said, “the teamsters
walked away from us. The teamsters didn’t return phone calls.
But the IAM stuck with us and provided us with the resources
to get this done.”
AirTran will become a subsidiary of Southwest Airlines
sometime after May 1. Southwest says it will operate AirTran
as a separate brand for at least the next eighteen to twenty
four months.

MEMBER TALK
Identical twins, identical jobs;
Un-identical pay and benefits
This is a tale of twin sisters who worked as Passenger
Service employees for United Airlines in the 1990s.
At the time, Teresa and Monica Dean weren’t represented
by the IAM.
“We worked side by side in Denver on the same team and
same shift, taking international reservations,” Teresa said.
“We had similar educational and work experience in the
hospitality industry and we both worked in the same job for a
phone company,” Monica recalled.
But because they did not have union representation and a
union contract, management could do whatever it wanted. So Teresa
earned $9.75 an hour and could get raises every six months.
Meanwhile, Monica earned only $7.64 an hour for the
same work and got raises only when the company felt like
giving them to her.
“It wasn’t just the wage disparity,” Teresa said. “I could
have accrued 125 sick days but Monica maxed out at 60.
Equal pay, equal benefits for equal work
A union contract guarantees it
“I had company-paid medical and dental insurance but
Monica had to contribute to her insurance premiums. And I
got seven weeks of vacation while she only got four.
“Teresa also had a company-funded pension plan and I
didn’t,” Monica added.
The seemingly arbitrary disparity in pay and benefits was
one reason both sisters strongly supported the IAM in a representation
election in 1998.
“We asked ourselves who will best represent us and we
felt it was the IAM,” Teresa said.
“All of us in the airline transportation industry need the
kind of independent, democratic representation only a strong
union can provide,” Monica said. “And the IAM is that union.”
Both said that having a union improved their wages and
benefits, as well as the way they were treated.
“With a union, you have to be treated fairly and with
respect,” Teresa said.
“Management cannot change rules on a whim,” Monica
said. “And we have a grievance procedure to address work
problems.”
Both sisters now work in Reservations at United in Detroit,
and their pay and benefits are equal.
“Having the IAM represent us is the best thing that could
have happened to us,” Teresa said.
“The job protection alone is reason enough to vote
union,” Monica said. “Before the union I saw many people
unjustly fired and you never saw them again.
“With a union you have someone to fight for you.” Both
urged everyone at Continental to vote for the IAM.
“You’ll be getting a strong union to support you,” they said.

ORGANIZING
Retiree’s experience with other
union: Cut the horses
Jensen Chun, a retired ramp service lead, has a question
for United and Continental employees.
“Why on Earth would anyone vote for a union other than
the IAM?”
“The IAM knows the airline industry better than anyone
else,” Chun said. “For the sake of its Members, this union has
stood up to the carriers and fought the battles.”
Chun was a teamster when he began working for UPS as
a ramp loader in 1975. He left UPS in 1978 to work for PSA in
SFO, which at the time was also represented by the teamsters.
“I was there in the late 1980s when PSA merged with US
Airways and later with Piedmont,” Chun recalled. “In the representation
election that followed, the teamsters were voted out.”
“Not surprisingly, as soon as the union was out, the carrier
drastically cut staff. Management cut the entire West Coast
operation, laying off people left and right. They also eliminated
the pension plan and cut holidays.”
Chun said it didn’t surprise him that those things happened
after the union was gone.
“Workers need a voice,” he said. “Unions are the only way
to have a say on the job.
“After that election, there was no one who had our back.
Everyone just did what he or she was told because there was
no one to call if you had a problem.”
With Chun’s experience in both unions, there is no doubt
in his mind which union to choose.
“The airline industry is so sensitive,” he said, “you have to
go with the union that is battle tested. That union is the IAM.”
Chun said that the IAM, unlike some unions, provides training
for its stewards that enables them to be highly effective.
“I was a steward and committee chair for eight years prior
to my retirement,” Chun said. “The IAM doesn’t just appoint
stewards in name only, it gives them the training they need to
do the job.”
Chun also praised the IAM’s defined-benefit pension plan.
“There is nothing like having a real pension when you
retire,” he said.
“A defined-benefit pension plan is becoming increasingly
difficult to find these days. And the IAM has just such a plan
for its Members. The teamsters don’t.”
“It’s one more reason to vote IAM.”

Chicago Committee Member to
Continental employees:
“You need to be in the IAM.”
Working at both union and non-union jobs has given
Chicago Committee Member Peter Kush firsthand knowledge
about the differences.
Kush is an emergency procedures instructor for United at
ORD-TK. He began his career in the industry in 1970 as a nonunion
ticket agent at Continental.
“I was there in 1982 when Frank Lorenzo took over,” Kush
recalled. “By September of ’83 we were in bankruptcy. He ran
it into the ground.”
Kush said that immediately after the bankruptcy, most
employees were told to leave. Others walked off the job.
“A few weeks after I left, I got a call from my former supervisor,”
he said. “He asked me to come back to my old job.
He said the new pay would be $7 an hour with no benefits. I
was making $18 an hour with full benefits.”
Kush got the impression the offer was “take it or leave it,”
and since he needed a job he took it.
“They eventually gave us a 50-cent an hour raise and a couple
of weeks vacation,” Kush said. “But it was a totally different
work environment. Everyone was bitter and the relationship with
management changed significantly. It became quite adversarial.
“This was a great airline that was built on pride and what
happened to it was a shame.”
Kush said those employees at Continental who were
represented by a union fared better in the reorganization that
followed the bankruptcy.
“The mechanics and pilots were union and they had
much better pay and benefits than we did,” he said. “Because
we were unrepresented, we were like dust on a carpet. They
could do with us whatever they wanted.”
Kush began working at United in 1991 but was not a
Member of the IAM until 2003.
“As soon as our classification became represented, we
noticed an immediate difference,” Kush said.
“We got a huge pay increase. Our work rules changed for
the better. And if you had any problems on the job, the union
was on the scene to back you up.”
Kush said current Continental employees will be in for
“sticker shock” when they join United.
“United is a an adversarial company,” he said. “The only
way to deal with it is to be in a union. You simply can’t be on
your own. Management will walk all over you.”
“That’s why I strongly recommend that Continental
employees vote IAM. They’ll have a union of 55,000 Members,
one that has the strength, knowledge, experience, and power
to do the job for its Members.”

United, Continental share history
Most IAM Members probably have never heard of Walter
Varney or of his connection to the beginnings of both United
and Continental Airlines.
Back in the early 1900s, when cross-country air races and
barnstorming were the rage, the United States Post Office
even began using aircraft to transport the mail.
The need for adequate landing fields soon became apparent.
In 1916, a pilot named Silas Christofferson purchased
a strip of land in Redwood City, Calif., that was used as an
airstrip and a flying school.
A few years after Christofferson’s death, a local resident,
What about the future?
Walter Varney, a World War I pilot, purchased the landing strip
and school and began a company called Varney Airlines.
Shortly thereafter, Varney bought the United Aircraft and
Transportation Company and distributed flowers by air from
greenhouses in Redwood City.
The Post Office soon required better and more dependable
air service to carry increasing quantities of mail. In 1924,
it began to contract with private companies for that purpose.
In April 1926, Varney Airlines flew 64 pounds of mail from
Paseo, Wash., to Elko, Nev., in the first contracted airmail flight.
In 1930, Varney Airlines and United Aircraft merged, and
in 1933 changed its name to United Airlines. In 1934, Varney
and a partner founded Varney Speed Lines. The company
later became Continental Airlines.

MERGER
Carmona: Members must be
vigilant in mergers
Al Carmona, retired District
141 Secretary-Treasurer, knows
from his four decades working in
airline industry that when it comes
to dealing with a merger, anything
can happen.
“I’ve seen a lot of mergers,”
Carmona said. “But one thing is
constant. Management wants to
make as many employees be nonunion
as possible.”
Carmona said that
mandated representation
elections following a merger
offer an opportunity for
management to eliminate
union representation.
“They will launch
campaigns against the
union with sweet talk and
outright lies,” he said. “But
Members beware, their
only goal is to decimate
the hard-won wages, benefits and working conditions that
have taken decades to achieve.”
The US Airways-Piedmont merger in 1989 saw the teamsters,
who represented US Airways ramp service workers,
voted out.
“We went in and reorganized
them,” Carmona
said. “It took almost five
years, but we finally negotiated
a superior contract.”
The American Airlines-
TWA merger in 2001 had
a unique set of circumstances
that affected IAM
Members’ seniority rights.
“The TWU represented
American’s workers,” he said. “We represented TWA.”
“An arbitrator ruled that the TWU contract with American
had precedence when it came to seniority. That meant that
our Members had to go to the back of the line.”
Carmona said that if IAM Members
wanted to keep their seniority,
they had to transfer to St. Louis,
TWA’s old hub.
“Anyone who didn’t transfer lost
his or her seniority,” Carmona said.
“It just goes to show you that
anything can happen and the union
and its Members have to be vigilant.”
The America West and US Airways merger in 2005
had the opposite result.
“IAM Members’ seniority was recognized and we
came out OK,” he said.
Carmona said that too
often Members take their
union benefits for granted
and become complacent.
“All Members have
to understand,” he said,
“that when you lose union
representation, you lose
all of the protections and
benefits in the union
contract, including due
process, seniority, pay, and benefits. You are basically on
your own.”
Carmona cited the
example of non-union
workers who do work outsourced
by the airlines.
“Just look at their wages,
benefits and working
conditions,” Carmona said.
“Look at how the company
treats them. That’s how you
will be treated if there is no
union to represent you.”
Carmona said all employees at United and Continental
should ask themselves one question:
“Do you want to work under a
contract and be in a union that is dedicated
to the protection of your rights
or do you want to be on your own and
work at the whim of management?”
Carmona knows the answer. “I
know anyone who thinks about it
will come to the conclusion that the
IAM is the only way to go,” he said.
Good, bad, unknown:
Airline management is
unpredictable

Equal justice
Unless you’re a union leader
Prior to World War I, union leaders
were declared enemies of the state
by the United States Supreme Court.
Many were jailed during the govern-
ment campaign of harassment.
Some of the same leaders were
fighting for racial equality.
LABOR HISTORY
Early labor efforts foster
racial equality
Even the Labor Movement was not immune to the rampant
racial discrimination prevalent in the United States in the
early part of the 20th Century.
Just as with most institutions in society, many — but not
all — unions were parties to segregation and racial inequality.
One significant exception was the Industrial Workers of
the World (IWW) Longshoreman’s Local 8 in Philadelphia.
The IWW, also known as the Wobblies, was founded in
Chicago in 1905 at a convention of 200 socialists, anarchists,
and radical trade unionists from all over the United States.
Many of the delegates were representatives of the Western
Federation of Miners who were opposed to the policies of the
American Federation of Labor (AFL).
The Wobblies believed that all workers should organize
as a class and that the AFL had failed to effectively organize
the U.S. working class because only 5 percent of all workers
belonged to unions in 1905. They also believed the AFL
organized workers according to narrow craft principles that
divided workers.
The IWW’s policy broke from common practice by welcoming
black workers on equal, non-segregated terms.
Local 8 was founded in 1913. For most of its 10-year
existence, it had a black majority and black workers served in
leadership positions.
One of the local’s major accomplishments was ending
the companies’ waterfront “shape-up” hiring system that had
been used to discriminate against black workers.
In 1913, Local 8 also did away with segregation that had
existed on the Philadelphia waterfront among work gangs.
All of these desegregation efforts were accomplished
while the local successfully accommodated the needs of its
members who were recent immigrants from eastern Europe
and Ireland.
Enemies of the state
The interracial, multicultural solidarity built by the union
withstood every challenge until 1922. But by then, the local
had been weakened by the imprisonment of many of its top
leaders during a government campaign of harassment that
began during the years surrounding America’s involvement in
World War I.
The leaders were jailed along with other IWW activists across
the United States, charged with being “enemies of the state.”
The campaign of harassment finally took its toll and the
local succumbed when it lost an employer lockout in 1922.
But Local 8’s pioneering, unprecedented successful efforts to
integrate black workers remains a lasting legacy.

Priceless
Why pay dues to a union?
To paraphrase Shakespeare, “Let us count the ways.”
Sometimes we hear Members complain about having to
pay their union dues.
No one likes to spend money, especially when times are
tough. But every one of us should be proud to pay union
dues, because our membership in District 141 is the best bargain
of our working lives.
Here is what we union members get for our money:
• Better wages: The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) reports that union members earn much more than
non-union workers. In 2009, the median weekly earnings of
union members was $908, while those who were not represented
by unions had median weekly earnings of $710. Of
course, District 141 Members make much more than that.
• Better benefits: Union workers continue to enjoy significantly
better benefits than non-union workers. For example,
the BLS reports that 93 percent of union workers have access
to employer-paid health insurance, compared with only 70
percent of non-union workers.
Union workers also get better-quality health insurance
and pay much less in co-pays and deductibles.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also reports that union
workers are more likely to have:
• Retirement benefits
• Employer-paid life insurance
• Paid sick leave
• Paid personal leave.
• Job protections: Your union contract guarantees you
protection from arbitrary discipline from your employer.
You also have certain rights on the job, including access to a
grievance process that lets Members dispute the company’s
interpretation or application of contract language and/or
disciplinary procedures.
• Representation: If you believe that a violation of the
collective bargaining agreement has occurred, you have the
right to contact a union representative so that he or she can
investigate your situation. If a violation has occurred, a grievance
might be filed on your behalf. Workers who don’t have
union representation are out of luck.
So the next time a co-worker asks you why it is important
to belong to a union and what his or her union dues are for,
please show them a copy of this article.
Unions always have and always will continue to make a
vital difference for their Members and for our country.
Those union dues are a bargain.

EDUCATION
Bullying or Heated Discussion?
In life we all have heated discussions about politics,
religion, family, and money, just to name a few. Not having a
strong opinion seems unrealistic when it comes to a teamster
contract that takes us back more than fifty years.
In 1948, the IAM negotiated double time pay for overtime.
The teamsters don’t have double time. Instead they
introduced straight-time overtime if you want it. That leads to
the next teamster first, called split shifts. On a teamster split
shift, while you’re sitting around waiting for the other half of
your shift, why not work some straight time overtime?
The next thing the teamsters sold to its new, unknowing
membership at Continental is unlimited part-time. In Houston
there are nine hundred part-time workers. On January 1, 2012,
that number could drop by half to four hundred fifty full-time
split shift workers. January 1, 2012 is when the teamsters decided
to end job protection.
That’s not the end of the carnage. Once workers start
working straight-time overtime between their split shifts,
there goes another two hundred jobs. The reduction of benefit
cost for the company is in the millions and the teamsters
got you $5 per day for each split shift.
The teamsters also introduced job sharing. Job sharing
allows management, or anyone else, to do your work. I’m sure
Continental’s teamster workers are already filing grievances
but don’t expect too much. If it’s not written in your contract,
you are not protected. By contrast, if management does hourly
work in the IAM Contract, they have to pay with a penalty of
time-and-a-half.
The teamsters also did not include Lead Ratios. The IAM
contract calls for one lead for every twelve workers. In the
teamster contract, management decides who and how many
will get paid for Lead. How’s that grievance going for ya?
Retro pay, shift differential, and pay increases will begin
nearest the employee’s anniversary date or “when technology
permits.” That’s right. The words, “when technology permits” are
actually in the teamster contract. How’s that grievance going?
The teamster Continental Micronesia contract says the
company will contribute $0.47 to the Western Conference of
Teamsters Pension Plan for every hour worked. Compare that
to the IAM Contract in which the company contributes $1.35
per hour worked to the IAM National Pension Plan. In twenty
years, the teamster plan will pay you less than $250 a month.
The IAM Plan will pay you $985 a month.
In every debate the IAM Contract exceeds the teamster
contracts. The IAM believes in transparency. All these agreements
can be found on voteIAM.com. Educate yourself and
make an informed decision based on facts – not teamster
promises.
