DFW: Anti-Outsourcing Picket Activity by AA Ground Staff 26 Jul 2017

I was told this morning that AA is having a strike. I can not find any information - does anyone know anything?
I have a flight in 7 days and wonder if I should make other arrangements so I am not stuck. I purchased the ticket through Priceline so I have no refund or anything.
Sorry for a strange sounding post...

My spouse.....

He said he heard it this morning but cannot remember the details.
I am looking and can not find anything, he insists he heard it.

I found it! Thanks! It is not a strike - They said they were going to Picket for a new contract.
Thanks!

Ah, much different but still of interest. Do you have a link to details? Which union? Pilots, FA, Ground Staff?

Unionized ground workers upset over contract negotiations with American Airlines formed a picket line Wednesday at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
The Transport Workers Union said members representing aircraft maintenance, fleet service, facilities and ground support employees were to protest at Terminal D to "shed light on American Airlines' latest plan to outsource many more U.S.-based jobs."
