Trumka asked the unions to share representation rights, with each keeping its pre-merger membership. Separately TWU faces a threat from the Teamsters and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association to represent American Airlines ground workers. American, owned by AMR Corp., and US Airways have reached separate seniority agreements with unions for pilots and flight attendants. AMR filed for bankruptcy protection in 2011 and announced in February that it will merge with US Airway Group Inc. Executives for the airlines expect the deal to win approval from antitrust regulators and to close before the end of September.
