Fleeing Not Flying Concerning the Month-Old Airline Strike
The AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists led a 40,000-strong strike against five major airlines 31 days ago after wage demands stalled. President and Congress jostled over Taft-Hartley options while a negotiated compromise emerged but was rejected by machinists. Hearings continued as Wirtz asserted no emergency and the plan shifted to a 30 day work-back with negotiations overseen by Congress and the White House. The administration claimed the strike does not threaten national defense or health, and the rhetoric suggested airlines might become unnecessary.
