Judge Grants Temporary Injunction Halting ABX Air Strike

Dow Jones News
A judge on Wednesday granted a temporary injunction requiring
striking cargo airline pilots to return to work after their action
delayed customer deliveries to Amazon.com Inc. and other
shippers.
Pilots at a unit of Air Transport Services Group Inc. struck
Tuesday morning over longstanding contract grievances.
In a complaint filed in federal court Tuesday, ABX Air Inc., a
subsidiary of ATSG, said Christmas shopping and deliveries have
already been disrupted and could worsen if the industrial action
continues.
A lawyer representing ABX said the Ohio judge had granted a
temporary restraining order late Wednesday requiring the pilots to
return to work. One of the airline's largest customers also
confirmed the court decision. ATSG and lawyers representing its
pilot union had no immediate comment.
In a statement later Wednesday, Air Transport Services said it
expects ABX Air flight operations to resume immediately.
