A new AP story from Sunday evening:

February 17, 2002, 7:04 PM EST
CHICAGO -- United Airlines and its mechanics union met for the third straight day of contract talks, but by late Sunday had not agreed on a contract that would avert a strike scheduled for later this week.

Most interesting line from this story:
A notice posted Saturday on a union Website tells members to prepare to remove their tool boxes and other personal items from United property at the end of their last shift before the strike deadline.
