Unions denounce FAA bill compromise (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Union leaders are denouncing a deal in Congress that would make it a little harder for them to organize airline workers. The deal was struck 10 days ago by top House Republicans and Senate Democrats as part of an effort to pass a long-term funding bill for the Federal Aviation Administration.

More than a dozen unions issued a statement Monday calling on the Senate to reject the compromise reached by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

The Teamsters, Communications Workers, Machinists and Flight Attendants unions said they don't want any changes in rules governing union elections at airlines and railroads. Democratic leaders say the deal saved unions from even more drastic changes demanded by Republicans who run the House. A Reid spokesman declined comment.
