American Airlines announced Wednesday that it will give new uniforms to flight attendants and employees following thousands of complaints about allergic reactions.
“Since American Airlines introduced new uniforms last fall, we’ve received more than 3,500 reports of suspected reactions from members of our union,” said Association of Professional Flight Attendants President, Bob Ross. “APFA took action as soon as we began receiving these reports, raising this issue with top management and arranging for independent testing to address flight attendant concerns.”
The Airline said it will begin the process of ordering and delivering new uniforms.
“Management at American is taking a positive step by stating that front-line flight attendants and our union will play a key role as the process for delivering new uniforms goes forward,” said Ross.
The APFA says it will continue to aggressively monitor the uniform issue, and any other matter that affects the health and well being of its members.
