Flight attendants union plans symbolic strikes
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Flight attendants at American Airlines say they will hold mock strikes around the country this month and could seek permission for real strikes early next year.
The union is protesting stalled contract talks with American, the nation's second largest airline.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants said Thursday that the Nov. 18 protests at airports around the country would show that some flights wouldn't operate during a real strike.
The union, which represents about 18,000 workers, said it would not disrupt service during the holidays.
