I like how the UHC plugs their company sponsored "negotiations-spin website", complete with half truths & slanted info...
UA mechanics ratify agreement
UA mechanics represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) ratified a new labor agreement on Dec. 29.
The new agreement covers approximately 5,500 UA mechanics. The company and the IBT will soon commence negotiations for a joint collective bargaining agreement for mechanics at both the UA and CO subsidiaries. CO mechanics represented by the IBT ratified their collective bargaining agreement in November 2010.
“This is another important step, which benefits our co-workers and contributes to the future success of United,” said Technical Operations SVP Jim Keenan. “We now turn our attention to a joint agreement for all United and Continental mechanics and are committed to reaching an agreement that is fair to the company and fair to our employees.”
