Flight Attendants’ Leaders OK Strike
From Associated Press
The board of the country’s largest flight attendants union authorized a national strike after its president said the airline industry was using the bankruptcy process to threaten workers’ livelihoods.
The union, which represents 46,000 members at 26 airlines, said it would immediately start the process of taking strike votes at four airlines: UAL Corp.’s United, US Airways Group Inc., ATA Holdings Corp.’s ATA Airlines and Hawaiian Holdings Inc.’s Hawaiian Airlines.
