The union representing 20,000 ramp workers and
customer service agents at United Airlines reported
"significant progress" Wednesday in negotiations
aimed at averting a contract deadlock and a
threatened strike.
The International Assn. of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers gave the upbeat report as it continued
marathon talks with United to work out a deal before
today, when a U.S. Bankruptcy Court trial in Chicago
is due to resume on United's proposal to impose
lower pay and benefits.
The union — the largest at the nation's No. 2
carrier — said although differences remained over
pensions and job security, the two sides were
exchanging revisions to try to wrap up a tentative
contract agreement. A spokeswoman for the airline, a
unit of UAL Corp., said only that
talks were continuing.
