Looks like some push-back from the unions now about the need to hire foreign workers due to crappy wages - sounds familiar.....

This from the article:

"The union declined to provide the letter needed for the permanent labor certification application submitted by the airline. A Labor Department-issued permanent labor certification allows employers to hire foreign workers to work permanently in the U.S."

I'm certainly not schooled in this visa process but am surprised the union is officially tasked with providing wage certification to the government as part of the process. I'd expect this to be done by the airline company since they're the one paying said wages.
