American Airlines denies 'presidential grievance' over uniform crisis

American Airlines late Thursday denied the "presidential grievance" sent to the airline Dec 21 by the Association of Professional Flight Attendants over the uniform crisis that has affected thousands of flight attendants and other AA employees. News of the denied presidential grievance — one of the most serious labour grievances that can be filed at AA — came from Cindi Simone, managing director of labour relations for AA. Simone recounted at length all the steps AA has taken in the intervening 3 months since it first became apparent that flight attendants and other employees were experiencing serious reactions believed to be tied to the new uniforms. More than US$1.2m has been spent on testing to date, with no clear answer to what is causing the reactions yet uncovered. <br/>
