FORMER REPUBLIC WORKERS GET STOCK PAYOUT
The Brotherhood of Railway and
Airline Clerks said more than 5,500 former Republic Airlines
workers will receive an average of 10,000 dlrs each as part of
a stock payout.
    It said some members will receive almost 19,000 dlrs in

Republic employees before the carrier's takeover by <Northwest
