TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A website aimed at drawing attention to thousands of Tulsa-based American Airlines workers whose jobs and pensions could be in jeopardy as the struggling air carrier continues through bankruptcy was launched Monday by the local Transport Workers Union.
Visitors to the site, www.isupportamericanjobs.com, are asked to sign an online petition to send a message to community leaders and company officials that workers must be treated fairly during the bankruptcy process.

The union represents nearly 6,000 airline workers in Tulsa.
