In the latest wrinkle, the manufacturer of the uniforms, Twin Hill, fired off a letter this week, declaring that the uniforms it shipped to American Airlines workers are safe to wear. The controversy ignited last year when American Airlines began — for the first time in about 30 years — to roll out new uniforms for its flight attendants, pilots and other employees. So far, 2,300 flight attendants have reported uniform-related health problems to their union, the Assn. of Professional Flight Attendants. Union President Bob Ross fired back with a letter that said the union never accused Twin Hill of wrongdoing.
