(AP) — LEGAL WRANGLE: A bankruptcy judge on Monday granted Mesaba Aviation Inc.'s request to dump its union contracts. The airline says it needs to cut labor costs 17.5 percent to survive
NEXT STEPS: Unions vow they'll strike if Mesaba imposes terms. The same judge has a hearing Tuesday on the airline's request to block such a strike.
Yep . . Job Security at it's finest!
Hmm, what action has ALPA taken which is not in the best intrest of Mesaba Pilots?
In fact what action do you specify that ALPA has taken?
They say that if the company does not honor the contract which the company signed, they will not work. A reasonable proposition.
If my tenant decides not to pay rent, or pay a unilaterally lowered amount despite our signed contract, I will be entirely within my rights to evict him.
Or perhaps you are asserting that a Unionized work force is bad for the Stakeholders... which is moronic.
What is really bad for Mesaba is incompetent upper management. Two or three idiots at the top will bring a company down a thousand times faster than a hundred at the bottom.
