An source has stated that there is a very real possibility that United Airlines workers will strike either Friday or Saturday because of a recent court decision to allow UA to terminate the union's pension.
This source has overheard managers stating they would need to "pick up the slack" when the baggage handlers and customer service agents strike this Memorial Day weekend. It is believed they are foregoing the recent rulings in reference to the machinists union and striking at the most opportune moment.
It is projected that nearly 800,000 passengers will traverse LAX alone this weekend. O'Hare and Midway international are expecting over 1.8 million passengers.

Posted by: Editor at May 26, 2005 11:23 PMActually, I am trying hard to care about the airlines, but I find I can't drum up any sympathy...I hope they slide into bankruptcy one by one so perhaps we can get a realistically priced transportation system in place...somebody will do it, if the incentive is there.
