United Airlines buyout would create largest employee owned firm
The United Airlines parent company announced a final buyout agreement with employees totaling 4.5 billion dollars, potentially creating the nation’s largest employee owned company with about 78,500 workers if shareholders approve. The pact, agreed with the Air Line Pilots Assn and the International Association of Machinists, follows a six month probe into Amtrak derailment. A Houston grand jury declined to indict over a fatal repossession shooting in Texas. Ohio authorities report bicycle drunken driving cases and license suspensions tied to a motor vehicle law.

L A police campaign backfires over billboards and pay talks
Los Angeles police union funded a harsh campaign including 22 billboards to pressure concessions amid stalled contracts. Mayor Riordan withheld a 6 percent two year raise offer, citing budget limits as officers go two years without a raise and 20 months without a contract. The city argues funds are unavailable while union officials say the billboards were not meant to derail negotiations.
