American Airlines' uniform crisis prompts a presidential grievance

Bob Ross has taken American Airlines' developing uniform crisis to a new level of urgency. Wednesday, Ross, the president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) that represents 25,500 AA flight attendants, sent a formal presidential grievance to American's senior VP and general counsel, Paul Jones. Sources familiar with the grievance process say a presidential grievance is the most serious type that can be filed. Ross, in his presidential grievance, reiterated what has by now become well-known during the 3 months the affair has been playing out: "Thousands of flight attendants have reported serious health and safety concerns as a result of wearing the new company-issued uniforms...These uniforms continue to put our members at risk, forcing them to use sick leave and affecting their overall health". <br/>
