“Three years in the negotiating room, very little progress, a Christmas meltdown that has just defined what all of our problems are have led us to this decision.'
The union representing Southwest Airlines pilots is taking early steps toward a possible strike, citing the airline’s Christmas travel meltdown among the concerns. “Three years in the negotiating room, very little progress, a Christmas meltdown that has just defined what all of our problems are have led us to this decision,” Casey Murray, a Southwest captain and president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association, said.
That law imposes strict restrictions on when airline employees are allowed to strike. Under the law a strike typically can’t start until 90 days after a government agency known as the National Mediation Board declares that the two sides are at an impasse. Even at the end of that 90-day period a vote from Congress can impose a contract on the two sides and block a strike, as happened at the nation’s freight railroads in December.
