Workers Union Balks at HBC Executive Bonuses

Responding to a recent filing in bankruptcy court by Hawker Beechcraft, seeking approval for as much as $5.328 million in bonuses for eight top executives, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAW) has filed a formal objection. In it, IAW aerospace coordinator Ron Eldridge referred to those in line for bonuses as “the very executives who led Hawker Beechcraft into bankruptcy.”
