Southwest Airlines asks unions to accept pay cuts to prevent furloughs
Southwest Airlines is asking worker unions to accept pay cuts so the company can avoid furloughs through the end of the year. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly noted that his goal is still to have no involuntary pay reductions or layoffs in 2020 but that the company has decided to approach union representatives for concessions.

It is the job of good management to control costs including the cost of labor. It is the job of unions to protect members from predatory management.
Controlling costs is a fundamental economic requirement for businesses and homeowners alike.
As for being "predatory", during this pandemic-related downturn do you know if the "unions", or business insurance carries, reduced their fees on union members or airlines, respectively?

I respect SW airlines but have seen too many airlines sacrifice employees for profit. Example, use gov. Relief funds ment to keep employees on job used to buy back STOCKS WHILE LET GO EMPLOYEES or pay "other" company to bust Union.
I’d rather take a pay cut than lose my job. But I’d want some guarantees in writing if I did. This is from someone who took a 40% pay cut going from one job to another resulting from a corporate takeover.
Better than no income... act fast
They should accept it.. If they do not, then oh well.. that is what happens.
