SEIU Prepares Airport Protests to
Snag Holiday Travel

Just when you think your holiday
travel is safe, the Service Employees
International Union is ready to help ruin the holidays. Employees of
private contractors at New York
airports congregated at LaGuardia’s Terminal B on Tuesday to protest their
wages – what they call “poverty wages and poor working conditions.”
The workers, from Airway Cleaners,
PrimeFlight, AirServ, and Aviation Safeguard, suggested that the wages are
somehow affecting travelers – and actually made the case that they’re doing a
bad job thanks to their impoverishment. Why? According to the SEIU, low-bid
contracting has driven down wages, with one study suggesting that outsourcing
of baggage porter jobs tripling from 25 percent to 84 percent over the last two
decades, and depressing real wages in New
York by 45 percent.
The problem for the SEIU is that
according to the Airline Quality Ratings, presented by the Wichita State
University and Purdue University,
“For the fourth consecutive year, the performance of the nation’s leading
carriers improved.” Overall, 10 of the 15 carriers rated in 2010 and 2011
improved in 2012. That included ratings in “on-time performance, baggage
handling, involuntary denied boardings and customer complaints.”
