American Airlines' Unions To Hold Nationwide Protest Wednesday

Hundreds of American Airlines workers plan to protest at Tulsa International Airport on Wednesday.

The protest which begins at 11 a.m. is part of a nationwide protest by the unions. This comes after American Airlines' parent company AMR rejected two union proposals.

The Transport Workers Union and flight attendants union each pitched buy-out plans that would allow workers to voluntarily leave the company before their jobs were cut.

But American says the unions' plans wouldn't save any money.

"We're standing firm for our families and for the future," said Transport Workers Union International President James C. Little. "AMR's draconian plan to offshore maintenance work and outsource other jobs is bad for American and bad for America and must be challenged."
