An aircraft maintenance worker allegedly tampered with an American Airlines plane at the airport in Miami.
Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani allegedly used super glue to attack a piece of foam onto the module.
The industrial spat between the airline and the 12,000 members of the union has been taking place through the summer and caused a bitter legal fight in Texas, where the company is headquartered. Alani has been charged with"wilfully damaging, destroying or disabling an aircraft," and is expected to have his first appearance in Miami federal court on Friday.
