Mesaba Airlines, Union Reach Tentative Agreement
November 28, 2006
Pilots, flight attendants and mechanics at Mesaba Airlines have ratified tentative agreements to reduce labor costs by about 15 percent, Mesaba Airlines Labor Coalition said.
The ratified union contracts and changes to wage and benefits for all non-contract employees, including management, will come into force on December 1.
Mesaba filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2005, and has been squeezed by the bankruptcy of its larger partner, Northwest Airlines.
