TIMES WIRE REPORTS
Pilots at Southwest Airlines Co. voted down a new contract that would have given them pay raises during a slump in the airline industry.
The vote was close, with less than 51% against the five-year contract, the Southwest Airlines Pilots’ Assn. said. It was the first time the union rejected a contract at Southwest.
Union President Carl Kuwitzky said the proposed contract -- which the union board had recommended -- “contained too many other negative aspects to ratify it.”
