We have received expressions of interest from a large number of Continental fleet-service workers and customer-service agents.

The members find it gross and disgusting that United executives are going to benefit from the workers' sacrifices.

We don't have any specifics from the company yet.

We're trying to get more time. We're trying to get this done in a very compressed time frame. But we want to get it done right.

Those talks are ongoing today and they are progressing well.

Some of the workers had expressed an interest in having the ability to organize, and I felt that they ought to have the ability to organize if they want to without any fear of intimidation from (the county) relative to that organization. It was a rights issue for me.
