President Trump: Keep Your Promise, Keep Airline Workers Employed

President Donald Trump

The grants for the airline industry in the coronavirus relief act that Congress passed last week are supposed to fund paychecks and benefits for two million hourly workers, including airport agents and reservation agents, flight attendants, pilots, mechanics, and the people who clean planes, cook the food, and help people through the airport.

Instead, President Trump's Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, is threatening to attach stock warrants to the grants, which add debt to the airlines' balance sheets, increase the risk of bankruptcy, and make it more difficult for them to accept the grants.

Congress did not intend for the grants to work this way. Tell President Donald Trump to make sure the grants are used to save our jobs, our paychecks and our healthcare.

Please prevent Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin from attaching warrants to the airline industry grants. Warrants would increase the risk of bankruptcy and make it difficult for the airlines to accept the grants. We need those grants to save our jobs, our paychecks and our healthcare.
