| FLash | Union agrees to new deal with US Airways that cuts pay by 13 per cent
Reservations and gate agents at US Airways approved a new contract Thursday that cuts pay by 13 per cent and provides the airline some of the relief it says it needs to avoid imminent liquidation. The Communications Workers of America, which represents 6,000 passenger service employees at the bankrupt airline, said 60 per cent of members who cast ballots voted to approve the deal, which runs though 2011. Thursday's vote gives the airline ratified deals with two of its four major unions: the CWA and the pilots union. It still needs ratified deals from its flight attendants and its machinists union. CWA leaders had urged approval of the deal. They said the pay cuts, while steep, are much less than the 34 per cent cuts initially sought by the airline. |
