We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs.
Unlike most airlines, we have a non-union workforce. If our employees unionize, it could result in demands that may increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our profitability. Each of our different employee groups could unionize at any time and require separate collective bargaining agreements. If any group of our employees were to unionize and we were unable to reach agreement on the terms of their collective bargaining agreement or we were to experience widespread employee dissatisfaction, we could be subject to work slowdowns or stoppages. In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by organized labor groups protesting our non-union status. Any of these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business.
Right out of the annual report........along with a laundry list of things that could "harm" their business. Makes for interesting reading. I know......you must disclose these elements per the SEC, but of all the investment reports I've read, never seen the phrase, "could harm our business", used so much.
