The Teamsters have added nearly 8,000 Continental Airlines service workers. According to the union, the ramp and cargo employees will now join the mechanics who are already Teamster members. This was the first time in a 12 year push the workers were able to muster enough votes to unionize. With this vote Continental is now unionized from the pilots all the way down to the baggage handlers.
