Looming over Northwest talks: other unions

Article Abstract:

Northwest Airlines must reach an agreement with its pilots' union without establishing an expensive pattern for its other labor unions. The carrier has six unions that are calling for a new labor agreement. Some observers say that had Northwest not been confronted with other talks with its machinists and flight attendant unions, it would have made a much more lucrative offer to its pilots union. The other unions are already calling for the same level of concessions that the pilots will receive.

Northwest Air's mechanics pick different union

Article Abstract:

10,000 mechanics at Northwest Airlines chose to leave the International Assn. of Machinists and join instead the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Assn. by a 57% vote of its members. The group thinks it will get better union representation with the smaller organization where it will not be lumped with clerical workers in negotiations. Since 96% of the group's members voted, it is seen as an important issue to the mechanics.
