Stagehands Making $400,000-Plus Strike Carnegie Opening
Are your skills worth more than a someone who pushes pianos onto a stage?
Do you take pride in what you do, and how hard you worked to get where you are?
Do you want to make the profession you chose better for yourself, your peers, and those who will come after you?
I get why people take jobs paying lower than industry average. It's self interest.
But why do you do this, and not try to make things better? You and your family should be the first thing you care about, but not all you care about.
It's time for pilots to STOP screwing themselves by not caring when they screw over the industry at large. This is NOT greed to work for better things for yourself and your peers.
1. Join the union push at your airline. (Unions are not perfect, but better than nothing)
2. If your airline has a union, volunteer, call your reps, talk to your peers, get involved. DO SOMETHING. WE ARE NOT EARNING WHAT OUR SKILLS OR LEVERAGE DESERVES. Subway train drivers might be making more than you!
We are all in this together and all our contracts are in tandem to each other's.
