Campaign Warns Of Pitfalls In
Outsourcing Mileage Plus, Airplane Maintenance
Teamsters, airline mechanics and a costumed turkey will leaflet five
major airports on Wednesday, Nov. 21, one of the year's busiest travel
days.
They will inform air travelers about the downside of United Airlines'
plans to outsource its Mileage Plus program and to sell its key San
Francisco maintenance facility.
Leafleting will take place at the terminal arrival and departure doors
nearest United (Nasdaq: UAUA) between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. local time at
Chicago O'Hare, Denver International, San Francisco International Los
Angeles International and Washington Dulles airports.
The leaflet reads, "United Airlines: Don't Abandon Mileage Plus."
Mileage Plus members also will be asked to sign a petition appealing to
United to abandon plans to sell off Mileage Plus and its aircraft
maintenance.
The Teamsters, who represent mechanics at 14 airlines, are in the
process of organizing United Airlines mechanics.
