Publishing timestamp: 2023-01-18 11:45:21
Summary
Southwest Airlines pilots' union is holding a vote that could give it the power to call for a potential strike, weeks after the carrier's holiday meltdown. The union and Southwest have been in negotiations for a new contract for years, and the vote would require clearance from the federal National Mediation Board. Southwest is scheduled to report quarterly results soon and could face questions from analysts about potential labor deals and the impact of thousands of holiday cancellations.
