Three hundred members of the International Association of Machinists picket at the San Francisco airport February 22 demanding a contract from the company. The union, which represents 15,000 mechanics at United and has been in negotiations for more than a year, asked the National Mediation Board in January to release it from talks in order to begin a 30-day countdown to a possible strike. |
