Enough! Las Vegas Demands #ReliefNow, #ExtendPSP
Start: Tuesday, December 15, 2020•10:00 AM
Over 100,000 aviation workers woke up without work on October 1, 2020: 45,000 were furloughed and tens of thousands more went on ‘unpaid leave’ when the Payroll Support Program expired. There is no longer a backstop for aviation job loss; there will likely be more. The October 1 furloughs were not a notice. People woke up Thursday morning without jobs, without paychecks, and without healthcare. They are filing for unemployment as we speak — but we have a chance to reverse course if Congress acts quickly.
Flight Attendants and other essential aviation workers have spent months calling on Congress to reach a deal for a comprehensive relief package to help all workers, including an extension of the PSP. But when Congress failed to act before the Sept. 30 deadline, furloughs began immediately for Flight Attendants and other aviation workers.
Join us outside the offices of Nevada Senators Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto to call on Congress to support emergency relief for essential American workers and an extension of the Payroll Support Program
