Workers need bankruptcy law reform. That was the message in Congress Tuesday from the Association of Flight Attendants – CWA. Union leaders testified on Capitol Hill on the need for bankruptcy law reform that would protect workers in company bankruptcies. The AFA-CWA says airline companies have used bankruptcies to devastate workers while rewarding executives. The Protecting Employees and Retirees in Business Bankruptcies Act of 2010 tries to spread the burden of corporate bankruptcy more evenly, not just on workers.
