ORGANIZING
Tim Nelson — District 141 Director of Organizing
Out in the organizing field I get a lot of questions about
why workers need representation. But I often get the more
specific question, “Why the IAM”
I think a lot of our own Members take that question for
granted, but the answer is a fairly simple one. It separates the
Machinists Union from all other airline unions. It’s the Machinist
Members that make this union a great union.
The single greatest organizing point I make to the nonrepresented
airline workers, in fact, is speaking about our
Members, and what they have done.
After 9/11, while fearing terrorism, Wall Street shut off investment
to this industry. And when bankruptcy judges tried
to shut down half the airlines in Chapter 7, it was the Machinists
Members who took a stand. Members sacrificed for this
industry, because we knew that these airlines were more than
just a piece of paper that gets traded on Wall Street. We knew
there were families and thousands of jobs that Wall Street and
judges refused to consider. Many of our Members sacrificed
with their very own jobs.
Today, these same airlines are the most profitable and
most productive airlines in the sky. We are a hard working
people and we have built this entire industry through our
sacrifices after 9/11. No other union was there in bankruptcy
protecting the jobs of ramp, airport, and reservations agents.
So, in organizing, although I talk about all the benefits of
being represented, make no mistake that the single biggest
selling point of this union is the Members of this union.
And I’m not a guy that likes to swear but it’s about damn
time that United recognizes the sacrifices of our Members and
finally signs a fair and equitable agreement.
United made sure they’re flying high. What about us

MEMBER SPOT
Remembering Paul Schodrow
Dave Atkinson — The world became a little less friendly
on August 4, 2010, the day Paul Schodrow passed on.
It didn’t matter if there was two feet of snow and it was
minus twenty degrees, Paul always had a smile on his face. No
one was ever sure if he was happy to see you or he was about
to play a prank on you.
Paul brought dignity and respect to every conversation,
even when he was defending his beloved Chicago Bears. He
was always willing to help, no matter what the task was at work.
It was the same with every person we interviewed for this
story. First they smiled, and then there was a tear of mourning.
It has been the worst of times for everyone working in
Denver, trying to survive on a part-time salary. Even so, on
the week of July fifth, District 141 Members pulled together a
fund-raiser barbeque for Paul and his family. In act of courage,
Paul showed up to thank his friends at United Airlines. It
was all hands on deck, and a simple cook-out snowballed into
a memory. As the last grilled cooled, Members realized they
had raised over 15,000 dollars for Paul’s family.
The Giving Foundation is a non-profit formed by Customer
Service and Ramp Service Employees in Denver. The
Foundation prefers a low profile and we respect those wishes,
but we would just like to just say thanks for helping people in
a time of need.
On a personal note, the last time I talked to Paul was at
the Local Lodge in June. I was greeted with a smile, a handshake
and the standard half man hug. We talked about the
usual sports and Union stuff, and last thing he said to me was,
“Everything will be alright.”

MERGERS
Hook-ups, stalls, and what’s ahead
When air travelers hurry through an airport terminal in
2010, they pass through a landscape that has changed dramatically
in the past 20 years.
Many of the familiar company logos of the past — Pan
American, TWA, PSA, Eastern, Ozark, Piedmont, Pioneer,
Braniff, Western and scores of others — are gone, replaced by
new brands.
Some of these “legacy carriers” of bygone days were unable
to survive in the unregulated environment of today’s air
transportation industry. Others became willing participants in
mergers with other airlines.
Mergers are nothing new. They were common even
before deregulation began to transform the airline business
in 1978. But deregulation has accelerated the trend toward
consolidation.
WHAT A MERGER MEANS TO YOU
Change is inevitable in the airline industry.
But whatever happens, District 141
will fight for its Members.
Over the years, the three air-transportation districts of the
IAM have fought for the rights and welfare of their Members
through dozens of mergers. This is especially true for District
141.
The first and only priority for District 141 in any merger
is the protection of our Members’ jobs, wages, pensions and
health benefits. Even before a merger plan is put into motion,
we fight to ensure that the new corporate entity will respect
the needs of our Members.
As soon as a prospective merger is announced, we meet
with the Members to discuss their concerns and goals. We
consult with our assistant general chairpersons to ensure
that communication between the Members and the District
leadership flows freely and rapidly through our website, the
Messenger and other media. The IAM International Union has
also conducted Merger Summits over the past several months
to guarantee that we have the best possible plans in place.
Mergers are a big challenge, but they also provide opportunities
to extend the benefits of union Membership to
non-union workers. When new workers vote to join District
141 they make us stronger, adding to our clout at the bargaining
table.
MERGERS THROUGH THE YEARS
With the United and Continental merger on the horizon,
it is important for Members to know something about the
history of airline mergers and how they have transformed the
industry.
Here are some highlights from the recent history of airline
mergers:
IAM141.ORG Messenger 4

■■
1987 — Delta and Western Airlines
Western Airlines, a California-based carrier with a 60-year
history (and a failed merger attempt with Continental Airlines
in the earlier part of this decade), weathered heavy financial
losses in the early 1980s. It was viewed by Delta as an opportunity
to raise its national profile. Following the merger,
the combined airline became the fourth largest carrier in the
United States.
The $860 million acquisition led to the dissolution of the
Western name.
“This is a model of what mergers ought to be,” said Western
Chairman and Chief Executive Gerald Grinstein to the Los
Angeles Times after the merger. “It’s a strengthening of what
both companies should be competitively.”
Grinstein also said that one of the goals of the merger
was to provide security for Western employees who had
accepted sacrifices to keep their company afloat, since the
alternative would have been a risky expansion plan by the
company on its own.
■ ■ 1992 — Mesa Air, WestAir Commuter Airlines,
and Crown Airways
In 1992, Mesa Air expanded its reach along the West
Coast with its acquisition of WestAir Commuter Airlines. Two
years later, it bought Pennsylvania based Crown Airways.
■■
1993 — Southwest and Morris Air
Southwest acquired Morris Air for $130 million to extend
its influence in the Northwest and increase its fleet size.
■■
1997 — AirTran and ValuJet
ValuJet’s low prices and no-frills approach to air travel
were popular with flyers since the company’s debut in 1993.
After a fatal crash in 1996 that severely tarnished the ValuJet
name, the company merged with AirTran Airways and retired
the ValuJet name.
■■
2000 — Air Canada and Canadian Airlines
Canadian Airlines, which flew customers to 17 countries
at its height in the mid-1990s, was itself created through an
amalgamation of several carriers in 1987.
In 1996, after expanding its reach in Europe and Asia, Canadian
Airlines implemented a restructuring plan to increase
its profits. Unfortunately, the airline instead suffered financial
losses and was on the verge of bankruptcy by the turn of the
century.
In 2000, the Canadian government approved a merger
between Air Canada and Canadian Airlines.
■■
2001 — American Airlines and TWA
TWA earned a reputation for innovation in its 70-year history,
becoming America’s first all-jet carrier in 1967. It was the
first major airline to hire an African-American flight attendant.
In 1988, TWA carried more than 50 percent of all U.S. passengers
traveling abroad.
The 1990s were unkind to TWA, however, and the airline
filed for bankruptcy several times throughout the decade.
In 2001, it merged with American Airlines in a deal that was
worth more than $2 billion.
5 AUTUMN 2010 IAM141.ORG
■■
2005 — Republic Airways Holdings
and Shuttle America
Shuttle America began operations in 1998, serving the
East Coast. In 2001, it went into bankruptcy and in 2005 it was
acquired by Republic Airways Holdings.
■■
2005 — America West and US Airways
America West Airlines started with three planes in 1981
and grew into a two-hub, 21-plane operation three years later.
By the end of the decade it was offering flights to several international
destinations. In early 2005, however, it was struggling
and looking to cut costs. America West merged with US
Airways later that year.
■■
The America West name was retired in 2007.
2009 — Republic Airways Holdings, Midwest Airlines
and Frontier Airlines
Republic Airways Holdings purchased both Midwest
Airlines and Frontier Airlines, combining them into a single
airline under the Frontier name.
■■
2008-2010 — Delta and Northwest
After emerging from bankruptcy protection in 2007,
Northwest Airlines announced the following year that it
would merge with Delta, creating the largest airline in the
world. The goal was to cut costs and increase efficiency to
cope with rising fuel costs and intense competition.
The U.S. Department of Justice approved the merger in
late 2008, and after more than a year of integrating the two
carriers, the Northwest brand was retired in early 2010.
STALLED EFFORTS
As many mergers as there have been over the past few
decades, many other pairings never got off the ground.
For example, a $4.3 billion merger between United
Airlines and US Airways was announced in 2000 and later
withdrawn. A subsequent merger discussion between the two
carriers in 2008 went nowhere because of financial concerns.
LOOKING AHEAD
Change is inevitable in the air transportation industry. But
whatever happens, District 141 will fight for its Members. We
have an excellent track record of securing strong contracts following
airline mergers and we intend to carry on that tradition.
It’s not enough to react to events. We are always surveying
the business landscape, looking at the companies we
represent as well as those we don’t, looking to stay one step
ahead of developments. When changes occur, we are prepared
for them.
Please don’t hesitate to contact your AGCs with any questions
or concerns you may have.
While tomorrow’s industry may look different from today’s,
your union will still be with you.

SCHOLARSHIP
‘How can America compete
in today’s global economy’
District 141 congratulates Kevin Young, 2010 First Place
Award Recipient, whose work is excerpted here.
Today the entire world is connected more than ever.
High-speed communication and shipping allows business
transactions to take place around the globe. Businesses are
competing locally and with corporations located on other
continents. The United States has great potential to continue
to be a major rival in the global economy. But to stay competitive,
the United States must resolve its current economic
recession, better educate American citizens, and use the
country’s natural resources efficiently.
The United States faces one of the worst economic
recessions in history. With each passing day, individuals and
families are finding it increasingly difficult to survive economic
turmoil. Many businesses are struggling to stay afloat, and
our cities and states are grappling with astronomical debt. In
February 2010 the unemployment rate in the United States
was 9.7%, and approximately 14.9 million U.S. citizens were
unemployed. This is unacceptable because every person who
wants a job in the United States should be able to work and to
provide an income for his or her family. Thankfully, the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a $787 billion stimulus
to the United States economy was passed on February
11, 2009 by Congress. Today the bill is helping to
create desperately needed employment
for many U.S. citizens. Another way to
stimulate the economy would be to
create additional jobs in the private
sector. One way to encourage
small businesses to expand
and hire additional individuals is
to provide them with a tax break
for each new employee hired.
This idea is part of the jobs bill
signed by President Obama in
March of 2010. The restoration of
our economy is essential to prosperity.
With help from new government
policies as well as strong and
diligent leadership, the U.S. economy
can and will be restored.
Educating U.S. citizens is imperative. Unfortunately, there are
approximately 1.2 million U.S. students dropping out of school
each year. The Obama administration stated that the nation as a
whole loses nearly $320 billion in possible income annually due
to the citizens who drop out. Student rates are a gargantuan
problem challenging America’s global future. In order for the
United States to compete internationally, America must raise
high school standards and assist as many students as possible
in continuing their education in college or trade schools. This
may sound easy, however, the task of educating our citizens
is daunting. Too many public schools are underfunded, and
recession is only making the situation worse. Innumerable
teachers are being laid off, tragically, from already understaffed
schools, thanks to budget constraints. The United
States must invest in its future by adding additional funding
to all public learning institutions, from kindergarten through
college. It is imperative that students have the resources necessary
for them to succeed. From the moment a child enters
the educational arena, emphasis should be placed upon their
individual achievement. To flourish in the global economy, it
is essential that we successfully educate our youth.
Within the United States, there is an abundance of natural
resources. It is now essential that the U.S. use these resources
efficiently in order to stay competitive in today’s worldwide
market. As a nation, we understand that the colossal expense
paid by the U.S. for foreign oil is unsustainable. In 2008 the
United States spent $475 billion on oil from foreign countries.
Currently, the U.S. imports over 65% of its oil and each day
almost 21 million barrels of oil are used in America. In order
for the United States to stay competitive in the global economy,
it must first reduce and eventually eliminate its need of
foreign oil. Earlier this year, President Obama declared that
within ten years he hopes the United States will no longer
need to import oil from the countries in the Middle East. It
is time that the U.S. moves forward and it is imperative that
we focus on new and alternative forms of energy including
natural gas found in the United States, wind, and solar. There
is great potential in producing energy from these resources.
In addition to having the potential to relieve the U.S. of its ties
to foreign oil, these alternative forms of energy are also much
cleaner for the environment and can be produced here in the
United States. As a result, thousands of new job opportunities
will be created for our citizens. There is no question that the
United States must eliminate its need of foreign oil in order to
remain competitive within the world market.
In conclusion, the United States of America has always
had the determination and the work ethic to meet new challenges.
Today more than ever, it is necessary for the United
States to adapt to a global economy. Although it is not an
easy task for our nation to compete globally, it is definitely
possible if the economic recession is resolved, the citizens
of America become better educated, and if the country’s
natural resources are used efficiently. It is vital that the
United States of America make these changes so it can
become an even stronger and more powerful nation
which can compete in the global economy.

HISTORY
Labor Day – beyond hot dogs
For some, Labor Day marks the ringing out of summer with
a day filled with barbeques, parades, and fireworks. For others,
it’s an excuse to enjoy a Monday off of work and out of the daily
grind. Yet Labor Day’s history goes much farther and deeper
than hot dogs or sleeping in. From the first unofficial Labor Day
celebrated on September 5, 1882, Labor Day has grown from
a day originally dedicated to healing the relationship between
government and labor unions, to a day to celebrate the economic
and social successes of the American worker and their
undeniable impact to the fabric of the country.
Although the true “founder” of Labor Day is always up for
debate, in New York City, on September 5, a Monday morning
in 1882, around 10,000 workers from the Central Labor
Union marched from City Hall to Union Square to celebrate
the working man for the first time. At the end of their makeshift
parade was a celebration with concerts, picnics, and
speeches. It was a time to rejoice in the achievements of the
American worker, but it was also more pointed. It was a time
to begin to strengthen the muscle of labor unions and to illustrate
with numbers how influential the movement was becoming.
And with their voice gaining strength, their message
and grievances became stronger and more legitimate.
However with labor unions’ growing impact and numbers,
Congress would not officially legalize the holiday until
twelve years later, when a defining moment in American labor
history brought the struggle of the working man into plain
view. George Pullman, baron of the sleeping railroad car, and
his employees flew directly into the spotlight. As profits began
to shrink due to the poor economy, Pullman laid off workers,
cut wages, and raised the rents on the multitude of homes he
owned, mostly all inhabited by his own employees. Workers
protested and rebelled and while parades and speeches were
impactful in their own way, this situation took a different turn.
The American Railroad Union, led at the time by Eugene
V. Debs, called for a boycott of all Pullman railway cars, consequently
disturbing railroad traffic across the country including
leisure and mail railway cars. To deter the strike, and to appease
worried railway executives, the federal government led
by known anti-labor movement president Grover Cleveland,
sent 12,000 troops to Chicago to break up the organizing,
unleashing a wave of violence in the Chicago area. Railroad
cars were burned, riots and pillaging ensued, and dozens of
workers were killed in the mayhem.
In the wake of this immense turbulence and in an attempt
to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act
making Labor Day a legal holiday. 1894 was an election year and
President Cleveland believed it was his chance at redeeming or
reconciling the bruised relationship between the U.S. government
and labor unions. On June 28, 1894, Congress passed the
act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal
holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.
In 1898, Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation
of Labor, called Labor Day, “...the day for which the toilers
in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their
wrongs would be discussed ... that the workers of our day
may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday, but
upon which they may touch shoulders in marching phalanx
and feel the stronger for it.” Although the thought and fervor
of political and labor action is often surpassed by barbeques,
the heart of Labor Day still stands in labor itself, and the work
and experiences of the American laborer. As we celebrate the
end of summer, let us also celebrate the sacrifices, successes,
and influence the American worker, past and present, has had
in carving out the prosperity, strength, and work ethic of our
country as we appreciate it today.

Twisted, grumpy, and now,
award winning – ‘best cover ’
“Fantastic image and great teasers, this cover would catch
almost anyone’s interest, given all the frustration and confusion
over what’s going on with airlines,” say judges in awarding
District 141 Member’s newsletter “Best Cover.”
Judges singled out the Messenger Summer 2009 cover,
“Airline’s Tangled World,” in making their comment. The Messenger
snagged its first place award in competition with AFL-
CIO publications worldwide, judged by independent media
professionals.
District 141 Communications took an additional award in
the “Short Video” category for its rendition of Stand By Me /
You Get What You Give. Shown at the close of the 2009 District
141 Convention, the eleven minute video honors working
people at the major airlines represented by District 141.
The award competition is sponsored each year by the
International Labor Communicators Association, or ILCA.
Founded in 1955, ILCA is the professional organization
of labor communicators in North America. ILCA membership
is open to national, regional, and local union publications
and to media productions affiliated with the AFL-CIO and
the Central Labor Councils, as well as to associate members
not affiliated with those bodies. The ILCA’s several hundred
members produce publications with a total circulation in the
tens of millions.
The International Labor Communications Association
came into being as a by-product of the merger of the American
Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations
on December 5, 1955.
