MILWAUKEE – TODAY’S TMJ4 has learned Midwest executives are calling on two of the airline’s most powerful unions to agree to job cuts and pay cuts for their members.
A source close to the negotiations says that Midwest pilots have been asked to take a 50 percent cut in wages.
Flight attendants have reportedly been asked to take a 30 to 40 percent cut in wages and lay off over 200 members.
Midwest spokesperson Mike Brophy said Tuesday night that he would not comment on the talks, but said that Midwest must make cuts to keep the airline out of bankruptcy. Brophy also said that action must be taken this week.
JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!
