An unauthorized ad campaign urging American Airlines employees to reject a labor agreement with the bankrupt airline's Tulsa hub has union reps concerned.
An estimated 2,100 jobs could be lost at the American Airlines maintenance hub in Tulsa after mechanics rejected the company's final labor contract offer, the embattled airline confirmed Tuesday.
A website aimed at drawing attention to thousands of Tulsa-based American Airlines workers whose jobs and pensions could be in jeopardy as the struggling air carrier continues through bankruptcy was launched Monday by the local Transport Workers Union.
