Business Wire
Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG) today said its
ABX Air pilots will be returning to work beginning tonight
following a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Timothy S. Black
that the striking pilots must resolve differences with ABX Air
through arbitration and other provisions of their labor
agreement.
The judge determined that disagreements with the pilots and
their union, Airline Professionals Association of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Local 1224, over work scheduling issues
constitute a “minor dispute” and must be resolved under terms of
the labor agreement between ABX Air and the union.
John Starkovich, President of ABX Air, said that he expects ABX
Air flight operations to resume effective immediately.
“I am pleased that the court continues to recognize the value to
all parties from continuing to work out remaining differences in
negotiations and through arbitration,” Starkovich said. “We intend
to resume those discussions at the appropriate time and place in
order to find solutions that are in the best interests of our
customers, shareholders and employees.”
