In its Monday lawsuit, Allegiant says it complied with the court order but appealed it to the 9th Circuit.
"Having gone to court to obtain injunctive relief regarding its status quo contentions, IBT cannot now argue that the same alleged status quo violations justify" a strike, Allegiant says. "That is a matter for the court that issued the order to decide, not a basis for a strike."
Allegiant seeks an injunction against a strike or work slowdown, plus attorney's fees and legal costs.
I guess they're not interested in talking out a solution, just trying to use the courts to beat us, but luckily they don't seem to understand the law....and the truth, but here it comes!
