Some American Airlines workers represented by the Transport Workers Union accepted the company's contract offer on Tuesday. The agreements will save 1,300 jobs that were previously slated to be cut. The union said that workers wanted a safety net other than the ruling of the bankruptcy court judge. The airline said that the agreements represented the company's willingness to work with the unions.
