Aeroméxico faces strike


The flight attendants union has announce plans to strike Aeroméxico starting May 31 if demands are not met. Demands include a 10 percent pay hike, higher contributions to retirement funds, more insurance and no flying between midnight and 5 a.m. The airline, while still the largest in the country, has been losing market share to several new low-fare carriers. Some union members oppose the strike, arguing that their leader is seeking a role in politics. His predecessor went in to hold several posts in the Mexico City government and is now a senator.
