1989 Press Photo Demonstrators at Mitchell Airport to protest Eastern Airlines

Pickets rose down an escalator at Mitchell Airport Sunday as they marched through the terminal to protest the renewal of flights by Eastern Airlines. The strikebound carrier began flying out of Milwaukee again on Sunday with flights to Atlanta. It has called back, on a part-time basis, about 25 of the agents it laid off in March, when it was crippled by a strike by pilots and machinists. The demonstration in Milwaukee Sunday was organized by Amalgamated Transit Union Local 998, an affiliate of the AFL-CIO.
