Tensions between workers and management at United Airlines have escalated once again. The workers latest attempt to oust CEO Glenn Tilton has come in the form of orange rubber wristbands, worn by approximately 20,000 employees, proclaiming ?Glenn?s Gotta Go.? Employees? concern with Tilton stems from wage concessions, but more importantly from a concern for the future of United, which has fallen behind other airlines in customer satisfaction ratings, and in overall financial performance. Management has expressed disappointment that employees are choosing to air their grievances in such a public manner, which they contend is inappropriate, and detracts from quality of work. However, an attempt by the management to stop distribution of the wristbands, appears to have only lent fuel to the fire.
