Eastern trims more from its work force
Eastern Airlines again cuts labor, placing an undetermined number of its remaining 1,500 workers on no work status and halving schedules as it rebuilds. Congress blocked a bill to end the machinists strike temporarily, with Senator Bob Graham calling the move a death warrant for the carrier. The House backed the measure, while Bush-stalled talks await an April 5 Easter recess. Eastern canceled most flights, laid off 9,500 workers, and filed for bankruptcy last week. Analysts regard a sale to Carl Icahn as the best hope to preserve the airline and its routes.
