Layoffs Anticipated from United – Continental Merger
By daniel | Dated: 05-04-2010
With the pending $3 billion merger between United and Continental Airlines, thousands of layoffs are being anticipated by employees of both companies.“some reductions in the salaried and management work force,” said Glenn Tilton, CEO of United Airlines parent company UAL Corp.
It has been agreed upon by both United and Continental to keep two labor representatives on the new company’s board. This pact was not presented to Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), a powerful group representing the interests of both company’s pilots.
To the dismay of the labor unions, both airlines have reduced capacity from recession-induced cuts: United by 7.4 percent and Continental by 5.2 percent last year.

What I liked about the service is that it had such a comprehensive collection of jobs! I was using a number of sites previously and this took up so much time, but in joining EmploymentCrossing, I was able to stop going from site to site and was able to find everything I needed on EmploymentCrossing.
