Court grants American Airlines' request to end 'devastating' slowdown by unions

(Reuters) - A U.S. federal court on Friday granted American Airlines Group Inc’s request to halt an alleged illegal slowdown by its mechanics’ unions that the airline said had become “devastating” to its operations.

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas granted American Airlines, the world’s largest airline by passenger traffic, a temporary restraining order against the airline’s two mechanics unions demanding the workers stop interfering in American’s operations.

The restraining order followed a lawsuit and preliminary injunction order that American filed against the unions three weeks ago.

The unions have “dramatically expanded their illegal slowdown activities and are creating an operational crisis causing significant damage to American, the traveling public and American’s employees,” the company said in its request for the restraining order.
