NetJets, a Berkshire Hathaway company (NYSE: BRK), faces deteriorating labor relations as reported by the NetJets Association of Shared Aircraft Pilots (NJASAP). The Union accuses NetJets of intimidating tactics against an elected official over lawful union activities following a recent five-year collective bargaining agreement. NJASAP claims the company is retaliating rather than cooperating to capitalize on high demand. Notably, Vice President Capt. Paulette Gilbert was subjected to intense interrogation regarding union activities, which NJASAP views as a direct attack on its members and leaders. Despite these conflicts, NJASAP secured a $1.6 billion contract increase.
