United May Soon Have A Strike On Its Hands

United Airlines is planning to cut $9.9 billion in pension accounts, and the labor unions are outraged and have threatened to strike later in the month if United does so. "Our members are ready to go if they mess with the pension or terminate our contract," said Carl Finamore of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. "We will shut their airline down. Our members are fed up." If United goes through with the cuts, pressure will be increased on other airlines such as Delta, Northwest, and American to cut costs on their retirement plans. As David Utter of Murdok Murdok.
