The International Brotherhood of Teamsters issued this statement:
On Thursday, November 9, passenger service workers at American Airlines who are members of the Communications Workers of America–International Brotherhood of Teamsters Association will hold an informational picket at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (PHX) as part of a national day of action at the second-largest passenger carrier in the world.
The workers have been in bargaining with the company for a year. They want the airline to improve wages, benefits, and job protections. Many of the workers have not received a raise in nearly four years, despite American Airlines reporting $13.5 billion in revenue last quarter.
