JetBlue to Outsource LGA Bagroom and BOS International Gates. What’s Next?

JetBlue GO Crewmembers from LGA and BOS have reported that JetBlue management is currently planning to outsource GO Crewmembers’ work in the LGA bagroom and the BOS International gates.
The natural question is: What’s next?
Without a legally binding union contract, JetBlue management can outsource GO Crewmembers’ work whenever and wherever it wants. This is work that provides GO Crewmembers with overtime opportunities or work areas to bid that are preferred by JetBlue GO Crewmembers. And, nothing prevents JetBlue management from outsourcing entire stations, or significant portions of work areas, if they so choose.
This is especially troubling as JetBlue management is pushing very hard for a merger with Spirit Airlines. The reality is that if/when a merger occurs, JetBlue GO Crewmembers have no idea who will run the combined carrier and what their commitment to GO Crewmembers will be.
Airline executives have a long history of saying one thing to get a merger approved and then doing the exact opposite after the merger is finalized.
The only way WE can protect ourselves and our careers is to form a union and negotiate a legally binding contract that protects and respects the work we do.
