TUCSON, Ariz. — Trish Muir has been working in the airline industry for about 28 years. She said about 17 of those years she was not a part of a union.
She said being a part of a union gives people more power to negotiate pay, benefits, and sometimes a work schedule. “I am more than happy to pay that as part of my union dues because it provides my family protections,” Cheely said. “To do certain things you should have to be part of a union like be an apprentice, go through that program and learn,” Cheely said.
