| FLash | Northwest Airlines seeks
big concessions from
mechanics and cleaners
Leaders of the mechanics and cleaners union at Northwest Airlines criticized the carrier's opening contract demands, which include sweeping cuts in benefits and the unlimited right to outsource maintenance work. ``It is absurd,'' said Jim Atkinson, president of Local 33 of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association. ``It's an all-out attack on the union as well as its members.'' The Eagan-based carrier is seeking major concessions while it tries to reduce its labour costs by $950 million US a year as the industry struggles with higher fuel costs and tougher competition. Two weeks ago, the pilots' union ratified a new contract that will reduce pilot costs by $265 million a year, cutting pay by 15 per cent. Salaried workers soon will see their annual compensation cut by $35 million. Northwest declined to comment on its new proposal for mechanics. But in a recent message to employees, CEO Doug Steenland said negotiations must take into account what is happening at other large airlines. |
