Well it looks like UAL mechanics are getting a raise:
CHICAGO (AP) -- United Airlines agreed Tuesday to accept a presidential panel's recommendation of a 37 percent pay raise for the carrier's nearly 13,000 mechanics.. . . .The announcement could end a long labor dispute with its mechanics, who had threatened to strike.
United announced its decision after calling an emergency meeting Tuesday.
The recommendation by a specially appointed Presidential Emergency Board, which said there was "no justification'' in not giving mechanics their first raise since 1994, was a victory for the mechanics' union and put the onus on the carrier.
"Although it has expressed serious reservations with detailed recommendations contained in the PEB report, United today has decided to accept the report's recommendations for contract settlement,'' United said in a statement. The company said it would have no further comment Tuesday.
