I wonder what they think the union can do for them?
What is really sad is that usually the people interviewed are not even from that industry, they are paid union activists.
Gotta say .. if they go Union .. why should I tip them..
Union: pay dues for double the pay and the Union OWNS you, even your vote.You no longer speak for yourself - the union speaks FOR YOU.
Non-Union: minimum plus 80%
do the math.

Ho-hum. Another day, another SEIU rally. So a guy works as a skycap for 31 years still makes minimum wage, huh?
The REASON a guy does that is either 'cause he has NO job skills OR it's because the tips are great. I knew skycaps from Sea-tac in my former job as a shuttle driver a long time ago. They make great tips. I doubt they would be gung-ho for the Union if their dues were based on hourly plus tips.
Just noticed that he mentioned 80% of his income is from tips! Let's do a little math shall we?
Minimum wage is $8.67 per hour. This is 20% of his total compensation. Total compensation would then be 5 X $8.67= $43.35 per hour. So a yearly wage of $86,700 ( not counting two weeks vacation) for schlepping bags?
What are you? A longshoreman?
$86,700 per year (and that is what he "declares" to the IRS. Wink, wink.)?
Slave wages? OKAYYYY......
"Many at Saturday's rally do not work at the airport, but support unionization for those who do"
I am sure they donated their time as well (snicker)!

Maybe 0bama should readjust that expected $billion dollar campaign number prediction.
The unions gave him $120million last election........ and maybe they won't be able to do
that this year. Anyway, other then letting them come to the W/H and giving mouth service
to their cause, what has he actually done for them? Probably as much has he has done
for the 21st Century Plantation blacks who voted for him at 97%.
Time to wake up the masses............

1999 Darwin Awards Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin
5 September 1999, Jerusalem In most parts of the world, the switch away from Daylight Saving Time proceeds smoothly. But the time change raised havoc with Palestinian terrorists this year.
Israel insisted on a premature switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time to accommodate a week of pre-sunrise prayers. Palestinians refused to live on "Zionist Time." Two weeks of scheduling havoc ensued. Nobody knew the "correct" time.
At precisely 5:30pm on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the explosions.
The bombs had been prepared in a Palestine-controlled area, and set to detonate on Daylight Saving Time. But the confused drivers had already switched to Standard Time. When they picked up the bombs, they neglected to ask whose watch was used to set the timing mechanism. As a result, the cars were still en-route when the explosives detonated, delivering the terrorists to their untimely demises.

Oh I see ... a reason to put SEIU and "Thuggery" in the title without any real facts. You want to calculate it on an hourly basis. Lets try annual huh?
$3606 yr. x 5 = $18033 .... looks a little different now doesnt it?
you think he would be struggling if he made $86K yr? Talk about people BAD with math and just trying to be disingenuous.
What is really sad is that usually the people interviewed are not even from that industry, they are paid union activists.
