NEWS: United Airlines Brinksmanship with AMFA

United Airlines marched into the bankruptcy court and asked the judge to grant them the wage cut that the mechanic's union recently rejected. The judge answered by granting United their wish...kind of. The judge granted a temporary wage reduction and told both sides to get back to the table and work this out. For their part, the mechanic's union has decided to not take any "labor action" (that's a strike to you and me) even though their members had authorized it.

Should things not work out they could still strike at a later date. More delays in United's attempt to exit bankruptcy sometime this fall. I really wonder if thay can work it out with the mechanics. I still say it just needs to end.
