Northwest Told to Restore Mechanics Jobs

Arbitration Board Rules That Northwest Airlines Must Restore About 150 Aircraft Mechanics Jobs


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- An arbitration board ruled Monday that Northwest Airlines Corp. must restore about 150 aircraft mechanics jobs that were eliminated after the start of the war in Iraq.
Northwest laid off about 2,000 mechanics last year in the wake of the war's start and the SARS outbreak. The airline invoked the "force majeure" clause of its contract, which allows layoffs for some events outside of the company's control, such as an act of war.

The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association said the layoffs were due to economic conditions, and that the airline used the war and SARS as an excuse to make layoffs.

"We're happy we were able to put the brakes on this excessive behavior and get these jobs restored with full compensation for lost wages and benefits," said Jeff Mathews, the contract coordinator for the Northwest unit of the AMFA, in a news release.

Northwest said in a release that it would "honor the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement" regarding the 150 furloughs that were not sustained by the arbitrator.

Earlier this year, Northwest won a similar battle when an arbitrator ruled that the company was justified in invoking the 2001 terror attacks to lay off hundreds of mechanics.

Hes to busy to reply. I believe he's helping draft that new memo about the concession stand reopening due to circumstances beyond the iam's control. Or maybe he and the other guys at the local lodge's are sending mass emails to Usairways leaders crying that they don't want to lose their jobs and telling them to force the iam to let us vote on more givebacks. PATHETIC!! I would like to apoligize to the whole aviation industry on behalf of the spineless union workers at usair. :angry:

Or maybe I was out of town and have a life so I did not check the boards, ever think of that?

Oh wait, that might tax your brain too much.

It looks like you even check the boards at other airlines. The only reason I was here was to edit my post that the moderators booted off the usair board. You better go and work on catching up with your pal A320. 😉

It was sarcasm. I dislike him and his posts just as much as everybody else.
