United's Union Contracts Under Pressure
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/041105/united_airlines_7.html
http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/041105/airlines_united_5.html Seems the spam is really hitting the fan. The pressure has been relentless. Oil at an all time high, fares at a 12 year low, the industry already has too much capacity and is still adding more. The unionized workers must be really frustrated. They've made many sacrifices, and more are being demanded. It's hard to face the fact that they are now working in a very troubled industry, especially after its history as being a very comfortable industry to work in. I wonder how the workers are viewing their union leaders. It seems the leaders are saying that the changes are disasterous but they aren't really saying what they are going to do about it. There really isn't much that they can do about it. A strike is their only real weapon, but a strike will cause the company to fold. It should be very interesting to see what transpires... --lw-- |
