The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers wants a federal judge to set aside an executive order establishing the board. Creation of the board prohibits a strike for at least 60 days while the panel works to reach an agreement between the union and the airline. Overturning the order would clear the way for the union to strike. The president acted after the National Mediation Board, which oversees labor relations in the airline and railroad industries, recommended he intervene and create a board to help break the two-year stalemate. The union, which represents 15,000 United mechanics, had been set to strike the weekend before Christmas. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/08/business/08UAL.html?ex=1011510675&ei=1&en=4f5ea37e6054ddd1 HOW TO ADVERTISE --------------------------------- For information on advertising in e-mail newsletters or other creative advertising opportunities with The New York Times on the Web, please contact Alyson Racer at alyson@nytimes.com or visit our online media kit at http://www.nytimes.com/adinfo For general information about NYTimes.com, write to help@nytimes.com.
