United To Lay Off Workers At Port Columbus

United Airlines says it will lay off 100 workers at Port Columbus on October 1st. The carrier says the cuts are part of layoffs at 12 U.S. airports, designed to cut costs and bolster the company's profits. The Port Columbus workers will have their jobs transferred to an outside vendor that will pay lower wages. United recently reported a second quarter profit of 919 million dollars, up 51 percent from the same period a year ago.
