Exercise 23

A pilots' union, Airline Professionals Association, had a collective bargaining agreement with freight carrier Airborne Express (ABX). The union and ABX had a dispute about time-off provisions in the CBA. The union applied pressure to ABX by asking all pilots not to bid on open flying time not covered in the regular monthly schedule. ABX says it lost jobs due to the lack of pilots and filed a complaint saying the union was engaging in an illegal strike. A district court agreed with ABX, and the union appealed. Decide the case. Explain. See ABX Air, Inc. v. Airline Professionals Assn., 266 F.3d 392 (2001); cert. den. 122 S.Ct. 1459 (2002).
