American Airlines workers protest job, pay cuts Feb 14 07:41 PM US/Eastern FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - American Airlines flight attendants and ground workers are protesting plans to outsource jobs and cut pay and benefits under a bankruptcy reorganization. About 200 protesters marched Tuesday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. American and its parent, AMR Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 29 after running up billions of dollars in losses over the past decade. Two weeks ago, AMR laid out a plan to cut 13,000 jobs, kill its pension plans, reduce benefits and make other changes such as longer hours for some of its 88,000 employees. Flight attendants' union President Laura Glading (GLAD-ing) says protests might not change the company's mind but that workers want to show they won't back down without a fight.
