On Wednesday (20 July) mediators declared an impasse in negotiations between Northwest Airlines Corp and its mechanics.
The declaration of impasse begins a 30-day long cooling-off period, ending on 20 August. Under federal labour law, after that period the mechanics can strike or Northwest can impose new wage rules.
Talks between the carrier and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association are expected to resume as the deadline draws closer, but the uncertainty could decrease bookings at Northwest during the busy summer season, reported The Associated Press.
