Last week U. S. Bankruptcy Judge Gregory Kishel threw out the union contract of Mesaba airline employees. The company wants to cut their wages by 17.5 %. They were going to strike but yesterday U. S. Bankruptcy Judge Gregory Kishel ruled they could not.
This is a serious thing. A contract voided and then the employees right to strike denied.
Mesaba's union employees are staging a rally on Thursday October 26th at the U.S. Federal Courthouse in Minneapolis at 11:30 AM. They are asking for a show of support from other unions. If at all possible please attend and show your solidarity. The government's anti-union, anti-worker action has to be stopped.
"We will not stand for this injustice," said Captain Tom Wychor, chairman of the ALPA unit at Mesaba. "Under the law, if your contract gets rejected, you don't have to perform under that contract. No bankruptcy court has recognized any exception under the statutes until today." -Workday Minnesota
