In recent decades, the airline industry has seen a substantial increase
in outsourcing which has undercut job security and lowered wages. The
transformation of self-sustaining middle-class airline careers to
low-wage outsourced jobs not only hurts workers and their communities,
but also may negatively affect the safety, security, and efficiency of
airports. The UC Berkeley Labor Center released a report on November 4,
2013, that examines the extent of outsourcing in the airline industry;
trends in wages over the last 20 years; the implications of these trends
for workers, customers, and other stakeholders; and the costs and
benefits of improving job standards in this industry.
