Roughly, two thousand United workers in Houston received furlough notices after dwindling travel shakes up the airline industries. The airline industry its on shaky ground, to say the least at this point, Mike Klemm, president of IAM District 141 Airline Workers Union, said. United reported second-quarter losses at a whopping $1.6 billion, which is bad news for major airlines with an equally major workforce nationwide.
