Pilots Rally and Picket to Protest Outsourcing of Midwest Jobs
More than 100 Midwest pilots and pilots from a number of ALPA-represented groups picketed at MKE on Wednesday to enhance public awareness of management’s outsourcing of Midwest jobs. Wednesday, October 1 marked the start of scheduled service for the EMB-170s.
Later that day, pilots from ASA, ASTAR, Atlas, Compass, Continental, Delta, ExpressJet, PSA, and United, among others, joined Midwest pilots, flight attendants, and their families at a rally in front of Midwest Airlines corporate headquarters. ALPA President John Prater, ALPA First Vice President Paul Rice, and ALPA SPSC Chairman Mike Donatelli addressed the crowd of 200 with the message that the 53,000 ALPA pilots are standing behind Midwest pilots in our fight to protect our jobs. AFA Midwest Airlines Chapter President Toni Higgins, Teamsters Airline Division Director David Bourne, and Detroit Teamsters Local 299 President Kevin Moore also spoke to rally attendees, expressing their support for Midwest pilots and flight attendants.
