Northwest Airlines Corp. (NWACQ.PK) was denied a request to block a strike by its flight attendants by a federal bankruptcy judge. The strike could begin as early as Aug. 25. Northwest reported they would appeal.
Newsweek.com reports flight attendants have said they may begin random, unannounced strikes after 9:01 p.m. CDT Aug. 25 unless Northwest negotiates a new contract with them. Northwest imposed pay cuts and work rules on flight attendants last month after they voted down a negotiated settlement.
“Now, Northwest management has one more chance. They have the choice to either set greed aside for once and agree to a fair and equitable contract, or they will face CHAOS,” the union’s acronym for “create havoc around our system,” said Mollie Reiley, who runs the Northwest branch of the Association of Flight Attendants. “Management needs to reduce their demands and do it in a hurry.”
