Airline unions function as democracies that organize strikes, raise concern about important safety issues, and back mergers that would not move forward without their support. They use their power to improve workers' lives and to enhance safety, which can be threatened by corporate over-commitment to ensuring profits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book draws from the experience of \u003ci\u003eMiami Herald\u003c\/i\u003e's former airlines reporter, Ted Reed, who offers an insider's view of the unions' victories, losses, and larger-than-life leaders. From the beginning of his career in the late 1980s, it was evident that covering the airline industry also meant covering the labor unions that represented nearly every group of employees. His 30 years of experience have spanned multiple major strikes and other union events, and the stories he shares are critical to understanding the role of labor organization in the airline industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Reed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476692696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476692692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Ted Reed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451187810559,"sku":"9781476692692","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb17fae0-bec4-4171-9198-c383fdf95730.jpg?v=1735876717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unions-flying-high-ted-reed-9781476692692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
