Strike Vote by American Airlines Ground Crew
About 6300 ground personnel at American Airlines vote on strike amid stalled negotiations.

The union seeks a 29 cent hourly raise plus severance, a union shop, and three weeks vacation after ten years, while the company offers 12 cents plus a 16 cent cost of living increase.
