06.30.03 – (LAA) – Federal District Court Denies Motion of Former TWA FAs for an Injuntion to Stop their July 2nd Furloughs

Hello. This is Liz Geiss, DFW InfoRep Captain, with a hotline update for Monday, June 30th, 2003.

The Federal District Court in New York this morning denied the motion of the former TWA flight attendants for an injunction to stop their July 2nd furloughs. The Court determined that the former TWA flight attendants could not satisfy any of the three standards that they would have to meet to justify an award of an injunction: (1) they could not demonstrate that they will be irreparably harmed if an injunction is not granted; (2) they could not demonstrate that they were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims against APFA and the Company; and (3) they could not demonstrate that the balance of hardships weighed in their favor.
