Spirit: Union's vote to strike will have no impact on operations
Spirit Airlines said it continues to make progress on collective bargaining talks as ALPA announced Monday it would ask 1,600 unionised pilots if they want to strike over the negotiations. A spokesman for the airline said the vote, starting Aug 21 and closing Sept 8, "will have no impact" on the company's operations. "This resolution allows union members to give their Master Executive Council the authority to call a strike," the spokesman said. "A strike can only be called if negotiations break down and, the federal govt releases the two sides from mediation and after a subsequent 30-day cooling off period." Spirit said the majority of provisions have already been agreed to. "We remain committed to reaching an agreement as quickly as possible," the airline said. <br/>
