Pilot's Union Grievance

Milwaukee, WI: (Apr-09-08) The Air Line Pilots Association brought a lawsuit against Northwest Airlines, over a bankruptcy claim. The union, which represents pilots from Eagan, MN based Northwest, stated that the suit addressed several grievances that the employees had. Northwest, the second-largest passenger carrier at Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport stated that it will work with the union to resolve the matter.

Sources claimed that the two sides have reached a settlement agreement, in which the company agreed to pay the pilots $5.9 million in total. The original claim was for $7.6 million. Northwest Airlines, which emerged from bankruptcy in May, 2007, is now swapping its new stock to pay such claims. The settlement agreement is before US Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper for approval.
