Negotiators for financially tottering Northwest Airlines made a new “economic offer†to its mechanics union Wednesday, two days before a strike deadline, a union spokesman said.
Neither the company nor Jeff Mathews, the spokesman for the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA), would provide details of the offer made during a third day of talks at the National Mediation Board headquarters. Nor would they say whether it was an improvement over previous company proposals.
“We’re in the process of analyzing it,†Mathews said.
It said the two sides appeared to be “resolving language issues,†but have yet to sign off on a complete article.
Northwest officials declined to comment on their economic proposal.
