Machinists Union Leaders Hope for Ratification Today
In Chicago on the eve of United Airlines mechanics second strike vote in three weeks IAM leaders expressed hope the contract will be ratified but prepared for a midweek walkout. Shares of United parent UAL rose 20 percent as investors eyed the vote and industry signs improved. If the pact fails, a nationwide walkout could shut down the airline, though that scenario is seen as unlikely as IAM endorsed the tentative deal. The agreement offers raises up to 37 percent for senior mechanics and boosts wages from 25.60 to 35.14 per hour with retroactive pay improvements. A separate stalemate with baggage handlers and customer service staff remains unresolved.
