Running these ads on CNBC all morning. Quite frankly they don't make any sense especially to casual observer.

A union that represents security guards is launching a six-figure advertising campaign against JetBlue Airways for paying its guards poorly.
The ads from Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ, which appear on cable television, taxi television and the Internet, seeks to reach JetBlue’s customers who use JFK International Airport. JetBlue contracts with Summit Security service to provide 80 security guards at the airport, who are paid just $20,000 a year, one ad claims, or “not enough to feed a family.”
The three, 15-second spots also refer to JetBlue’s disastrous cancellation in February of hundreds of flights, to passengers’ confinement for hours on grounded airplanes and to the airline’s “lousy snacks.”
A JetBlue spokesman says that the Summit Security guards focus on traffic control, not baggage and aircraft security. Beyond that, he declined to comment on internal labor issues.
SEIU Local 32BJ, which is trying to organize the Summit workers, represents more than 50,000 building services workers in New York, including maintenance crews, cleaners, doormen and superintendents.
