JETBLUE MANAGEMENT TO CREWMEMBERS: WE HAVE JOB SECURITY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE JOB SECURITY. WHAT?JetBlue management is up to its old tricks once again. They are back telling GO Crewmembers in smaller locations that if we unionize that the smaller JetBlue GO locations could be outsourced. Here’s the truth: JetBlue management is prohibited under federal law from retaliating against us for supporting or joining a union. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR JETBLUE MANAGEMENT TO OUTSOURCE, OR EVEN THREATEN TO OUTSOURCE OUR WORK, BECAUSE WE SUPPORT OR JOIN A UNION. If JetBlue management took any adverse actions in retaliation against JetBlue GO Crewmembers because we are seeking to unionize, the IAM UNION would take action, which could include filing a lawsuit in federal court. The fact is, currently, we have absolutely no protection against outsourcing. JetBlue management could outsource every JetBlue location right now for any reason. However, to outsource our work BECAUSE we desire to unionize, or in fact do unionize, is illegal under the Railway Labor Act (RLA). While every airline outsources ground operations, union contracts provide protections against outsourcing. For example, every IAM airline contract protects the work and jobs of IAM UNION members. JetBlue GO Crewmembers, once unionized, will have the same opportunity to negotiate work and job protections into our contract.
