Southwest Showdown: Pilots win the right to sue

from Business Law 101 · host David D. Schein

The "friendly skies" are stormy! ⛈️ Southwest Airlines is facing a lawsuit from its pilots union over claims of intimidation and punishment for union activity. A federal appeals court ruled the case is serious enough to go to trial, saying the airline's actions could "weaken or destroy the union." What happened to "Do the Right Thing"? 📉 Thanks for joining me for this episode! I’m a Houston- based attorney, run an HR Consulting company called Claremont Management Group, and am a tenured professor at the University of St. Thomas. I’ve also written several non-fiction political commentary books: Bad Deal for America (2022) explores the Vegas-style corruption running rampant in Washington DC, while The Decline of America: 100 Years of Leadership Failures (2018) analyzes – and grades – the leadership qualities of the past 100 years of U.S. presidents. You can find my books on Amazon, and me on social media (Twitter @DSchein1, LinkedIn @DavidSchein, and Facebook, Instagram, & YouTube @AuthorDavidSchein). I’d love to hear from you! As always, the opinions expressed in this podcast are mine and my guests’ and not the opinions of my university, my company, or the businesses with which I am connected. Photo Credits: FocusImage; IVZ; Evgeniy Shkolenko; AnnaStills; One_Studio
