WASHINGTON (AP) -- Airline employees, rallying outside the White House, accused the Bush administration Tuesday of siding with airline managers who the attendants said are claiming financial hardship to deny their employees a decent living. 'We will strike when the first bankruptcy judge throws out a flight attendant contract,' Patricia Friend, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, said at a rally by 200 airline workers at Lafayette Park across from the White House. Flight attendants, pilots, maintenance workers and their supporters marched in biting cold to protest what they called a long deterioration in working conditions, accelerated by efforts at airlines such as United and US Airways to use the bankruptcy process to cancel union contracts and impose deep pay cuts.
