Airline workers could target holidays

Article Abstract:

Major airlines in the United States have issued warnings on the possible disruption of services during the 2000 holiday season due to contract disputes with their labor unions. The airlines believed that the unions might take action during the season to dramatize their grievances against them. For example, Northwest could face a slowdown in operations if frustrated members of its mechanics' union, which is engaged in protracted negotiations with the airline, decide to take action.
