United Airlines' parent company UAL Corp has announced pay cuts for non-union employees as part of its efforts to make labour cost savings in bankruptcy.

Some 8,500 employees will have their wages reduced, with salaried employees taking a 4% cut in pay, management employees taking a 6% reduction and officers an 8% reduction. Executives, including CEO Glenn Tilton, will have their pay cut by 11%.

The salary reductions, together with benefit changes and productivity enhancements, are designed to help the company save USD112m per year.

Pay will be cut from 1 January 2005, when an additional 4% temporary salary reduction will also take effect. This temporary pay cut will last until United Airlines emerges from bankruptcy.
