Investopedia reports:
A week after United Continental Holdings Inc. (UAL) settled a lawsuit over baggage handler workplace injuries, a United worker was locked in an airplane's cargo hold.
The Washington Post reports that the worker spent over an hour locked in an airplane traveling from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Washington, D.C., on the afternoon of Jan. 1. The flight was operated by Mesa Airlines, an airline operating regional feeder flights for United and American Airlines Group Inc.
[...] The worker was unharmed in the incident and told The Washington Post that he was advised by his lawyer not to discuss the incident.
Less than a week earlier, on Dec. 27, United Airlines announced it settled a lawsuit brought by its baggage handlers. The workers alleged more than 600 musculoskeletal workplace injuries between 2011 and 2015.

Musculoskeletal injuries? So nothing to do with lax cargo hold procedures, or anything like that?
I'm really not sure what someone wants to infer from this.

Punishment for snitching. This was just a warning. Next time, they'll drop him off in the middle of the sky with balloon boots.

Musculoskeletal injuries. It just means that after a hard day's work, they have to go home and rub some Ben Gay on tired, sore muscles. Err - wait - can we say that anymore? Is Ben Gay politically correct? Maybe it's Benji Queer now? Fek, I can't keep up with the changing times.

This item made the front page because there wasn't anything more interesting in the queue.
There wasn't anything more interesting in the queue because folks spent all their time whining rather that submitting better, more interesting stuff.
...and I'm sure that your fellow laborers are all thankful for your wonderful show of solidarity and are hoping that you don't see a similar lack of concern for your wellbeing at your workplace.
