[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, OP. I did find a clip of it on NBC4. I agree that the pay is egregious. [b]However, these workers do not work for the airlines. They work for independent contractors.[/b] Does that make it okay? NO. But, it does have different rules. For the woman who was interviewed that made 8.50 an hour, I did not hear anyone ask her how long she had worked there. For the Skycaps --they get tips. That is like working as a waitress or waiter. For the one who has worked there for 50 years--he must have done okay, or surely he would have found another job. For those blaming Virginia laws, DCA falls under MWAA. I'm not sure what there rules are. No company is keeping anyone from going out and getting a better job. Cleaning airplanes is pretty unskilled work. I would hope that no one expects to be doing that forever. [/quote] The old "independent contractors" excuse.[/quote]
