These people are not employees of the airport, they're subcontract employees & they're well aware of their job description & the pros & cons of that line of work, interesting they're just now disgruntled enough to strike just before the XMAS rush. If they desire a pay & benefits increase they need to pressure their union delegates to do what the rank & file dues go for, to do their jobs. The American traveling public suffers enough with exorbitant airline fares, constant flight delays & outright cancellations, long lines at the gate & TSA bullcrap to have to deal with the likes of self absorbed subcontract employees holding them hostage. The Airport Authority should pull a Reagan (Like he did with the FAA air traffic controllers)on them & have the contractors fire them all & replace them with temps.

Now is the best time to do it, and you don't think they deserve 15 buck a hour? Also if they do have a union, I'm sure their is a clause that prevents them from firing them during negotiations. And the gripe you have is not with these workers, they don't set the air fare, no do they?

Why Have Prices Increased?
Ticket prices are high today for a number of reasons. For starters, the industry has consolidated a lot over the last few years. Less competition means less need for cheaper prices. Thanks to bankruptcies and mergers, there are now only four major airlines in the United States (soon to be three when American merges with US Airways).
