American Airlines Meets With Union Leaders to Discusses Potential Merger
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- American Airlines executives met with labor union leaders this week to discuss a potential merger with another carrier.
American spokesman Andy Backover said they've had meetings for more than a year regarding airline industry consolidation with the unions, which include the Transport Workers Union that represents ground workers and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants.
The meetings have been subject to a confidentiality agreement, preventing all parties from revealing details of the discussions, Backover told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Gregg Overman, a spokesman for Allied Pilots Association, confirmed on Friday that the union was represented at the most recent meeting.
