"We have no choice now but to plan for a strike at some point
soon. We're tired of subsidizing mismanagement that predates the
9/11 tragedy. United is not only destroying our livelihoods, but
our retirement security. With the acquiescence of the Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corporation, United is digging into taxpayers'
pockets to pay for management's long history of under-funding
pension plans, even in better economic times, and failing to adapt
to changes in the airline industry."
