Nah, not Mary and what’s his name’s father…there was one, right? Okay, couldn’t the resist the title for this story:

The Transport Workers Union on Monday is slated to petition the government to call a representation election in which the union hopes to win the right to represent 650 flight attendants at discounter Virgin America.

Virgin America, a Burlingame, Calif., company with a hub in San Francisco, has 2,100 employees and is entirely nonunion. Richard Branson’sVirgin Group of the U.K. has a 25% voting stake and a 49% economic interest in the company.

The TWU, which has been vying to win a drive to organize Virgin America’s cabin crews for some time, two months ago began a campaign to get the attendants to sign cards signifying they want an election.

Federal rules require a 35% showing of cards, but the TWU said it has obtained signatures from "an overwhelming majority" of the group.

   Think of the change of the course of history if all Virgin workers were unionized. Wow.
