FREE WORKPLACE HEALTH CLINIC United Airlines has opened a new employee health clinic at O’Hare International Airport. The clinic will serve a broad scope of employees’ health needs, such as urgent care for routine illnesses, travel and other immunisations including flu shots, prepackaged medications, job-related physical training and pre-employment physicals, at no cost to employees. The convenient access to these and other health care services is available to all United employees, including the more than 10,000 co-workers in the Chicago area. United also offers health care clinics for its employees at its Cleveland, Houston, Guam and Newark/New York hubs. BIOFUEL LEADERSHIP United has been a biofuels pioneer in the USA and has signed a definitive purchase agreement with AltAir Fuels for 15 million gallons of aviation biofuel to be used on flights departing Los Angeles in 2014. The fuel is expected to achieve a 50% reduction in CO2.
