Southwest møter motstand i lønnsforhandlingene.

[Hickok]

Labor talks between Southwest Airlines and its ground workers have stalled over wages, and the union and company plan to seek federal mediation on Friday. The move is a setback for Southwest, which has long enjoyed relatively good labor relations compared with other airlines.
But it is also a sign of the economic turmoil in the airline industry that is hurting Southwest, financially the strongest U.S. carrier. The Dallas-based airline is struggling with high fuel prices and signs of a slowdown in air travel.
