The union is asking shareholders to withhold their votes from Glenn Tilton as board chairman and from five members of the committee that sets executive compensation.

Teamsters general secretary-treasurer C. Thomas Keegel alleges in a letter to shareholders that Tilton's plan to liquidate assets, including United's maintenance division, and to pursue a merger "at any cost" has diminished shareholder value and jeopardised the airline's long-term growth.

The company's annual meeting will be held on 12 June.
