June 22 (UPI) -- American Airlines announced it will seek a new vendor for its uniforms after numerous complaints by employees.
In a statement Wednesday, American Airlines Group Inc. said the company will not renew its contract with clothing manufacturer Twin Hill, a division of Tailored Brands Inc. when the contract expires in 2020. Twin Hill maintains its uniforms for flight crews and customer service agents are safe; the airline has received 3,500 complaints regarding fatigue, skin rashes, headaches and other adverse reactions since Twin Hill began outfitting the employees in September.
