In his suit Spirit It accused the union of “engaging in a widespread slowdown, which resulted in the cancellation of approximately 300 flights and violated travel plans for more than 20 000 customers.”

В Spirit suggested that this was an alliance attempt to influence contract negotiations.

“We are disappointed that ALPA has chosen to pursue this illegal slowdown for the sole purpose of influencing ongoing labor negotiations,” a spokesperson said Spirit Paul Barry in his statement USA Today. “This resulted in flight cancellations and prevented our customers from completing their planned trips. Therefore, we reluctantly filed this lawsuit to protect our clients and our actions.”

“This is clearly illegal activity under the Railroad Act, which governs labor relations in the airline industry,” Berry added in a statement. “ALPA and those responsible must be held accountable.”

ALPA, in turn, denied these claims, saying in an interview CBS Newsthat claim Spirit It is a “unfounded and counterproductive legal action.”
