The New Employee-Relations Climate in Airlines

Herbert R. Northrup

ILR Review, 1983, vol. 36, issue 2, 167-181

Abstract: This study examines recent developments in the air transport industry and assesses the extent to which deregulation has been a compelling factor of change. Among the problems examined are the entry of nonunion carriers into the market, the flight controllers' strike, the decline of traffic during the recent recession, and particularly the differing union approaches to the industry's problems, as exemplified by those of the Air Line Pilots Association and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. The author concludes that the impact of deregulation has been significant and is likely to reduce union power permanently in this industry, but he is not certain that the recent ventures in union-management cooperation will survive the end of the recession and the lifting of competitive restrictions imposed as a result of the flight controllers' strike.
