From YouTube: SEIU Rally Local 615 Offices (Airport Wages)
Description
Everyone deserves fair pay regardless of where they stand on the ladders in the workforce. Workers for JetBlue's subcontractors, FSS and ReadyJet, go on strike as their Logan Airport Workers' rights are illegally violated.
A
A
My
name
is
Roxanne
Rivera
and
I'm.
The
vice
president
of
SEIU
32bj
I,
want
to
welcome
you
this
morning.
I
want
to
ask.
We
have
folks
that
are
joining
us
here
today
in
support
of
a
twerker
airport
workers,
winning
a
better
life
I'd
like
to
ask
the
speakers
to
come
up
and
I
will
be
introducing
you.
I
want
to
first
think
Airport
workers.
Can
you
please
stand
up
airport
workers.
Please
stand
up.
Applause.
A
To
be
with
us
here
today,
so
I
want
to
honor
you
today.
I
also
want
to
also
thank
the
community
members
that
are
here
and
have
been
with
us,
as
we've
gone
through
a
struggle
to
basically
lift
the
lives
of
working
people
at
Logan.
Airport
I
want
to
also
thank
our
elected
officials
that
are
here
with
us
today.
A
And
you
will
be
hearing
from
them
in
a
moment.
We
do
have
some
big
news
today,
but
you
will
hear
about,
but
just
to
give
a
little
bit
of
background.
Over
the
last
five
years
we've
been
Logan.
Airports
have
been
organizing
for
better
jobs,
so
they
confess
their
passengers,
because
that's
what
they
do.
Many
folks
don't
know
that
workers
at
the
airport
that
work
as
baggage
handlers
as
wheelchair
assistance
as
cabin
cleaners
on
the
airplanes.
They
don't
actually
work
for
the
airlines.
They
work
for
subcontractors.
A
There
are
the
nearly
500
employees
of
JetBlue
subcontractors
named
FSS
and
ready
jet
at
Logan.
Airport
have
repeatedly
faced
illegal,
set
threats
and
intimidation,
as
they
have
tried
to
organize,
even
when
they
do
so
outside
of
work
hours.
These
unfair
labor
practices
are
not
only
illegal.
They
have
put
added
strain
on
people
who
are
already
struggling
to
survive.
A
Workers
in
this
country
have
a
legal
right
to
organize
and
shouldn't
have
to
face
these
illegal
threats.
Intimidation
when
they
do
it
is
clear:
JetBlue's,
Logan,
Airport,
subcontractors,
FSS
and
ready
jet
need
to
be
made
to
follow
the
law.
It
should
not
be
up
to
airport
workers
alone
to
stand
up
for
the
legal
rights
and
their
dignity
as
human
beings.
It
is
up
to
all
of
us-
community
members,
elected
officials,
the
faith
community,
Massport
Airlines
and
passengers
to
support
their
fight
for
a
better
Airport.
A
B
First
off
I
like
to
say
good
morning
to
each
of
you
all
for
coming
out
today.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
today.
My
name
is
Dianne
gathers
I
am
a
will
share
agent
for
JetBlue's
contractor
and
FSS
I've,
been
here
for
the
last
four
years
at
Logan
Airport
today,
I'm
here
with
my
coworkers,
to
say
that
illegally
intimidation
and
threats
won't
stop
us
from
organizing
to
make
airport
jobs
better,
not
only
for
ourselves
but
for
the
passengers
that
depend
on
us
every
day.
B
B
Now
that
we
are
clear
that
we
are
all
standing
together,
we
will
need
to
decide
on
a
date
for
us
all
to
go
on
strike
in
the
coming
days.
We
don't
have
the
date
yet,
but
with
many
strike,
vocalists
many
strike
votes
I
know
that
when
we
do
strike
jetblue
contractors,
FSS
and
ready
jet
will
finally
learn
that
this
is
not
okay
to
violate
our
legal
rights
on
the
job.
C
Thank
You
Roxana
and
they
all
great
job.
You
were
great
up
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
want
to
thank
the
elected
officials
that
are
with
us
today.
Send
the
job
on
Cory,
Adrian,
Madera,
state
representative,
lydia,
edward
city,
councilor,
the
dozens
of
other
elected
officials
that,
if
they
could
be
here
today,
they
would
be
here.
I
want
to
thank
thank
all
of
them.
Most
importantly,
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
workers
for
having
us
here
today.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
be
here
with
you.
C
I
just
want
to
start
with.
Logan
Airport
is
the
gateway
to
Boston
and
Boston
is
the
gateway
to
the
world,
the
first
visual
that
people
when
they
come
to
our
city,
whether
they're
tourists
or
businessmen
or
people
that
live
here
are
seeing
you
they're,
seeing
you
go
on
the
plane
to
clean
the
plane
to
prep
the
plane
they're
seeing
you
deliver
our
food
they're,
seeing
you
in
the
in
the
airports
helping
people
assistance
getting
off
the
plane
getting
on
the
plane.
You
were
the
face
of
Boston
and
that's
something
that
we're
all
proud
of.
C
My
father
came
to
this
country,
as
they
said.
Many
times
as
an
immigrant
when
he
came
to
Boston,
he
joined
the
laborers
Union.
He
was
a
laborer.
He
was
the
guy
that
would
clean
the
construction
site
up.
He
was
the
guy
in
his
in
his
field
to
go
in
and
clean
the
toilets
out.
They
were
the
ones
that
no
one
would
see,
but
they
were
the
ones
doing
the
work
on
on
those
jobs.
C
It's
important
for
us
to
remember,
as
we
think
about
what's
happening
in
Boston
today
and
what's
happening
in
the
country,
this
incredible
resurgence
of
opportunity
across
our
country
that
we
can't
leave
out
the
people
that
make
this
happen.
For
all
intents
and
purposes,
you
are
the
people
that
makes
it
happen.
It's
important
for
you
to
understand
that
we
stand
with
you.
You
took
a
vote
to
strike.
C
You
took
a
vote
to
strike
and
that
vote
means
that
we're
serious
about
asking
the
companies
to
sit
down
at
the
bargaining
table
and
have
conversations
what
that
means
is
of
the
companies
allowing
the
people
the
right
to
organize
if
they
choose
that's.
Why
we're
here
today
we
here
because
that's
as
much
of
the
American
dream
and
so
all
the
other
things
that
have
in
our
country
today,
it's
an
honor
for
me
to
stand
here
today
as
workers.
C
C
We
in
the
companies
owe
you
respect.
We
owe
you
fair
treatment,
and
we
owe
you
the
same
rights
that
any
other
person
wants
to
get
in
their
life
every
single
day.
If
you
want
to
organize
and
speak
with
one
voice,
that
is
your
right
as
American
workers
and
that's
exactly
what
you
are
today.
You
are
American
workers
fighting
for
your
right
to
do
what
you
want
to
do.
C
My
message
to
the
companies
these
workers
that
I'm
looking
at
need
to
be
respected,
because
these
workers
that
I'm
looking
at
are
the
mothers
and
fathers
of
young
people
in
art,
schools,
they're
the
people
that
pay
their
taxes
they're
the
people
that
take
care
of
their
homes.
There
are
many
cases
the
people
that
send
money
back
to
their
home,
where
they're
homely
it
has
nothing
I'm
asking
you
to
respect
them.
I'm
asking
you
to
sit
down
with
them,
I'm
asking
to
talk
to
them.
C
Whatever
is
decided
in
this
room
as
you
move
forward,
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
I
support
you
as
mayor
of
the
city
of
Austin
as
a
proud
son
of
immigrants,
I'm
gonna
support
you
we're
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
until
we
get
resolution
now
a
couple
of
quick
things.
Roxanne
has
been
at
this
fight
for
a
long
time.
I
think
the
first
time
that
this
fight
came
to
my
office.
I
was
a
state
representative
and
I.
C
Don't
think
your
number
was
32bj
with
the
old
number
656
15,
and
we
had
this
conversation
many
many
many
years
ago
and
from
that
day
till
today
we
have
about
55
direct
international
flights
that
come
in
to
Logan
Airport.
There's
a
conversation
about
like
standing
terminally,
there's
been
conversation
about
changing
the
way
and
the
planes
that
come
in.
How
many
plans
we
have.
We
have
a
direct
flight
to
Haiti,
have
a
direct
flight
to
more
places
in
the
world
than
anywhere
else.
All
of
that
has
changed.
The
economy
has
changed.
C
Boston
is
a
city
where
people
want
to
come
to
it's
a
destination
point
that
people
want
to
be
at,
and
it's
important
for
the
companies
to
understand
that
we
stand
with
the
workers
because
of
the
work
that
they
do,
because
the
economy
is
moving
forward,
not
because
of
the
people
at
the
top,
but
because
the
people
at
the
bottom,
who
do
the
work
and
I'm
not
seeing
you
the
bottom.
But
you
know
exactly
what
I
mean
I.
C
Stand
ready
to
help
you
resolve
the
issues
that
we
have,
and
there
are
more
than
one
issue
here
today
and
I.
Know
that
and
I
want
you
to
know
that
when
you
go
home
today
and
you
put
your
head
on
your
pillow,
that
you're
mayor
of
this
city
and
I
can
speak,
probably
for
the
almost
the
entire
City
Council,
the
City
Council
and
the
House
of
Representative,
the
Senate.
We
are
in
your
corner.
We're
gonna
continue
to
work
with
you.
We're
gonna
continue
to
fight
for
you.
C
C
Now
I
have
the
honor
to
introduce
to
you
a
friend
that
I've
had
a
chance
to
meet
over
the
last
couple
years.
He
got
elected
to
the
Massachusetts
state.
Senate
he's
done
an
incredible
job,
the
ill
he
represents
the
entire
Airport
area.
But,
aside
from
that,
he
understands
the
importance
of
supporting
and
standing
with
working
people
sent
a
job
on
Cory.
D
Today,
everyone
else
buenos
dias,
buenos
dias,
yo
estoy,
con
ustedes
I
stand
with
you
today
and
along
the
elected
officials
behind
me,
like
representative
Mota
row
and
city
councilors,
Lydia
redwoods.
We
all
stand
with
you
today,
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
know.
Most
of
you
are
coming
off.
The
third
shift
you've
worked
all
night
and
who
showed
up
here
this
morning
to
stand
up
for
every
one
of
your
brothers
and
sisters
in
labor,
and
that
should
be
recognized
and
commended.
D
As
a
mayor,
recollected
I've
only
been
elected
for
a
short
time
only
about
two
years,
but
it
seems
all
too
often
I'm
in
front
of
you.
The
good
people
of
32bj
and
the
airport
workers
to
discuss
the
unscrupulous
business
practices
of
the
subcontractors
of
JetBlue
and
that's
gotta.
Stop
I
want
to
thank
people
like
Darla
who
fought
this
good
fight
for
four
years,
have
fought
against
unscrupulous
business
practices
have
fought
against
wage
theft
and
neither
fights
that
we've
won
so
far,
and
this
fight
to
unionize
it
to
strike.
This
is
the
fight
we'll
win.
Also.
D
This
is
the
fight
we
have
to
win,
because
it's
a
sad
day
in
this
country
when
people
have
to
fight
for
what
is
already
there
giving
right
what
is
already
the
federal
law,
the
right
to
unionize
the
right
to
strike.
So
we
must
stand
with
you.
We
will
stand
with
you,
we
stand
with
you,
not
just
you,
but
we
stand
with
your
families.
Dahle
was
telling
me
about
her
five-year-old
son
today,
you
know
who's
in
school
and
with
all
the
stresses
dirt
and
or
coming
off
the
third
shift
out
of
poverty
wage.
D
A
And
I
also
want
to
just
recognize
I
know.
Both
senator
bond
Cory
and
representative
state
represent
Adrienne,
a
duro
who's
going
to
speak
in
a
moment
here
they
were
with
us
and
the
airport
workers
last
spring
when
we
went
on
strike,
so
they
were
then
we're
with
us
then,
and
they
are
with
us
now.
So
let's
give
them
applause.
A
And
also
just
mayor
Marty
Walsh
because,
as
he
said,
he
was
a
state
representative
when
we
started
this
fight
and
he
was
with
us
then
and
he's
here
with
us
today
and
I
want
to
recognize
and
thank
you
mayor,
we're
all
your
support
in
your
continued
support.
So
next
I'd
like
to
introduce
representative
Adrian
martyr,
Oh.
E
Good
morning,
when
I
see
us
folks
we're
here
to
fight
for
respect
in
dignity,
we're
here
to
fight
for
equality
and
for
justice,
and
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues
and
governments
and
on
behalf
of
all
you
workers
I
want
you
to
know.
We
stand
in
solidarity
with
you
in
this
fight.
Like
Roxana
said
we
were
there
last
year.
E
We
were
that
we
were
with
you,
then
we
are
here
with
you
now
and
we
will
continue
to
be
with
you
until
this
is
resolved,
because
we
should
not
have
to
be
here
fighting
for
your
right
to
organize.
We
shouldn't
have
to
be
here
fighting
for
fair
wages
and
benefits
for
workers
in
Boston
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Yet
here
we
are
and
the
fight
continues
and
we
will
be
with
you
side
by
side
until
this
is
resolved,
and
you
have
my
word
that
we
will
win
this
fight.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
and
I
just
want
to
say
both
you
know,
state
representative,
Adrianne,
Margeaux
and
Senator
Vaughn
Corey
have
not
just
been
with
us
as
we
rallied
on
it.
You
know,
as
workers
were
striking,
but
also
they
have
taken
it
to
the
Statehouse
and
proposed
legislation
right
to
better
airport
workers,
jobs
at
the
airport
and
continue
to
continue
that
conversation
with
our
the
highest
elected
officials
in
our
state,
as
well
as
the
the
head
of
the
head
leaders
of
mass
ports.
F
F
F
It
is
our
honor
to
be
here
to
stand
with
you
just
like
many
of
you
stood
with
us
when
we
were
coming
out
there
and
trying
to
become
elected
officials.
I
will
forever
be
grateful
to
you,
but
most
importantly,
I'm
here,
because
I
stand
with
workers
I'm
a
proud
union.
Member
of
the
UAW
Local
nine
I
am
proudly
walk.
The
line
with
domestic
workers
and
organized
around
and
I
am
so
proud
and
honored
to
be
able
to
stand
here
with
you
to
hold
whatever
sign.
F
The
problem
that
many
people
have
is
that
when
workers
do
the
hardest
jobs
for
folks
they're,
often
unseen,
they're,
not
it's
a
thankless
job
to
push
people
around
and
wheelchairs
is
a
thankless
job
to
have
to
be
getting
them
from
one
airport
or
to
another.
Many
people
don't
see
you
and
I
know
that.
I
know
that
for
many
people
who
are
unseen
domestic
workers,
the
hardest
thing
to
do
is
to
organize.
So
the
reason
why
we
have
to
be
here
and
stand
with
you
is
because
a
strike
is
about
being
seen
for
the
first
time.
F
A
strike
is
about
being
recognized
for
the
strength
that
you
have
and
I'm
so
proud
and
honored.
To
be
a
part
of
that.
The
fact
is:
I
stand
with
the
wheelchair
attendants,
the
cabin
cleaners,
customer
service
agents
from
JetBlue,
sub
subcontractors,
FSS
and
ready
jet.
They
have
a
horrible
track
record
of
treating
their
workers.
F
What
they
have
been
doing
and
what
they
will
continue
to
do
unless
we
fight
is
no
bueno,
so
we
need
to
stand
up
and
make
sure
that
they
rise
to
the
occasion
and
make
sure
that
they
rise
to
the
standards
that
we
are
setting.
You
want
to
work
here.
You
want
to
have
a
business
here.
You
want
to
make
money
in
Boston
pay
your
workers,
it's
as
simple
as
that.
F
You
want
to
have
the
honor
of
coming
to
the
best
city
of
having
a
business
here
then
let
your
workers
organize,
if
you've
got
nothing
to
worry
about,
then
you
shouldn't
be
worried
about
an
organized
workforce,
but
I
think
they
do.
In
any
event,
you
know
who
we
will
be
here.
We
will
stand
with
you
and
whatever
you
need.
You
call
us
I'm
so
proud
to
be
here
and
thank
you
so
much.
G
A
You
Lydia
Edwards
I,
want
to
close
today
and
really
this
goes
back
to
yes,
it's
our
legal
right
to
organize,
but,
like
I
said
before,
it's
not
only
upon
airport
workers
to
stand
up
for
their
legal
rights.
It
is
upon
all
of
us
to
come
together
because
it's
beyond,
what's
legal,
what's
not
legal!
It
is
about
the
dignity
of
workers,
of
folks
that
work
and
live
here
in
Boston,
and
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
and
invite
from
our
faith.
A
A
When
they
see
you
gathering
talking
about
building
a
better
life
and
how
uncomfortable
that
is,
I
I
know
the
rabbi
himself
witnessed
is,
as
he
took
the
step
of
doing
a
delegation
to
JetBlue
in
order
to
basically
let
them
know
that
he
was
supportive
of
all
your
effort.
So
I
want
to
recognize
that
and
I'd
like
to
have
rabbi
Rothman,
say.
H
It
is
such
an
honor
and
a
blessing
for
me
to
be
here
at
this
moment
where
you
stand
up
for
your
dignity,
for
your
rights,
for
your
humanity
to
be
present
when
you
make
this
decision
as
a
Jew
as
a
representative
of
the
New
England
Jewish
labor
committee.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
be
here.
The
god
that
I
represent
is
a
God
of
gratitude
and
a
God
of
justice.
H
If
you
bring
my
mom
on
a
wheelchair
to
her
plane,
if
you
make
sure
baggage
gets
to
where
it's
supposed
to
go,
if
you
resolve
a
complaint
from
a
customer,
if
you
make
sure
we
have
clean
and
sanitary
planes
and
people
of
faith,
don't
say
thank
you
and
don't
recognize
you
as
holy
if
they
say
they
believe
in
God,
I,
don't
think
they're
telling
the
truth.
So
let
me
tell
you
on
behalf
of
anyone
who
recognizes
that
you
are
all
created
in
God's
image.
Thank
you.
We
say
thank
you.
We
see
you,
we
love
you.
H
Come
from
the
Jewish
people,
the
Jewish
people
know
the
experience
of
having
to
work
for
Pharaoh
and
not
get
paid.
This
is
the
story
of
Exodus,
a
story
of
a
group
of
workers
who
give
everything
they
put
their
hearts
and
their
sweat
and
their
blood
into
the
pyramids
into
the
the
nation
of
Egypt
and
they
get
nothing
but
scorn
and
ridicule
and
violence
and
oppression
in
return.
That
story
is
in
our
bones.
That
story
means
we
stand
with
you
when
you
are
not
given
respect
when
you
are
not
given
dignity.
H
The
Jewish
people
are
freed
from
slavery,
free
to
liberation
free
to
justice.
We
wear
these
strings
called
tzitzit.
They
remind
us
that
we're
freed
not
just
to
wander
but
freed
for
Commandments,
for
obligations
to
our
Creator
and
to
one
another.
This
week.
In
fact,
in
synagogues
all
over
the
world
is
when
we
read
the
Ten
Commandments
God's
top
10
list.
H
H
G
G
H
Voice
the
voice
of
your
brothers
and
sisters,
that's
the
voice
of
God.
That's
the
voice
that
moves
through
this
community
and
says
you
deserve
respect.
You
deserve
the
best
that
is
given
by
grace
from
heaven.
You
live
it.
You
work,
it
I,
keep
marching
with
you.
We
keep
marching
together.
They
tell
me
it's
si.
Se
puede
I
need
I
need
us
to
say
it.
Si
se
puede.
We
we
do
this
together.
I'm
with
you.
A
And
I
want
to
say
you
know
this
hat
for
many
of
you
right
that
has
started
on
this
some
years
ago,
right
out,
we've
seen
progress
in
certain
ways,
but
we
still
see
the
issue
there
that
I
workers
still
do
not
have
the
right
to
organize,
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
those
community
organizations
have
walked
with
us
through
this
I
want
to
acknowledge,
Chelsey
collaborative
that's
here.
That
was
very
first.
A
I
want
to
make
the
labor
yield,
who
actually
oversaw
one
of
our
first
votes
to
strike
and
I
want
to
also
recognize
and
greater
four
corners
and
action
for
again
being
with
us.
As
we
walk
marched
into
the
Logan
Airport
to
demand
justice
so
and
I
know
there
may
be
other
community
organizations
or
individuals
that
have
been
with
us
I.
Just
if
I
didn't
mention
you
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
again.
