Sun Country employees plan to join Teamsters Local 970 union

About 300 employees of Sun Country Airlines working for Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport are planning to join Teamsters Local 970, they say to secure better wages, seniority, and respect on the job. Currently, ramp and related workers at Sun Country Airlines receive a 50-cent raise after 90 days of employment. But wages are subsequently frozen until specific promotions can be realised. In the best-case scenarios, such efforts only typically amount to an extra dollar per hour for any given worker, claims Teamsters. In addition to frozen wages and limited opportunities for advancement, workers never receive cost-of-living adjustments, adds the union. Chad Reichow,
