Political Factoid
Since 2003, American Airlines
has repeatedly coerced its
labor groups into agreeing
to hefty concessions on each
new contract, all to keep the
airline owners out of bankruptcy.
Now AA has embraced bankruptcy
because it wants to cut $2 billion
in annual costs, most to come
from labor, including the cutting
of 13,000 jobs.
