Maureen Abajah LOG 125 Chapter 7 Case 7-2 U.S. Airways Overview: US Airways is and has been beleaguered with a myriad of issues, from financial issues to consistently below average ratings when it comes to baggage handling and customer service. They have filed bankruptcy several times and merged with other airlines and now have to work on a way to get to a competitive edge in the industry with all issues facing air carriers in general. Case Questions: 1. If you were the CEO of US Airways, what would you do to confront the competition from its low cost competition?

I agree with Rose, Sagle has violated the contract because Anderson Luxury Motors is still an automotive company. The contract for the IT system maintenance will be terminated immediately.

The Taft-Hartley excluded nurses in nonprofit hospitals from coverage under the NLRA, legally preventing nurses from organizing collective bargaining units and going on strike.
