Why do posters keep saying the flight was oversold? Before posting it would be good to actually scan the previous posts. The 4 employees were not paying customers, they were standby passengers. The passengers who were removed, or bumped, were actual paid passengers of that flight. Had they actually been oversold there wouldn't of been seats for everyone onboard. They needed to remove paid passengers so the standby passengers could come aboard to work in another city the following day. They could of just as easily been placed on a later flight that had empty seats if only the terminal agents went beyond their basic job requirements. Instead they called the police to enforce a business decision. One of the biggest mistakes they, and United has ever made.
