Implications of Airline Mechanics’ Involvement with Labor Unions
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing whether airline mechanics are pricing themselves beyond the ability of airlines to pay them. Labor unions typically are in the business of preserving themselves and building membership so that they can increase revenues that come in the form of member dues.

Airline mechanics likely are pricing themselves out of direct-employ airline jobs. They can go to work for contractors, at lower hourly rates and with fewer – if any – benefits. The choice appears to be theirs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
