Payroll Support Program Extension Becomes Law

Yesterday, the Emergency Pandemic Relief Legislation was signed into law. This was a Union-led effort, and this would not have happened without your calls, emails, and tweets. This legislation includes $15B for the Payroll Support Program (PSP), which:

• recalls and restores seniority of 7,985 American Airlines Flight Attendants
• guarantees wages & benefits for aviation workers between December 1st – March 31st
• extends the restriction on executive compensation and the ban on stock buybacks
• restores air service to communities and supports distribution of the vaccine

While this is great news, our fight is not over. We will continue to coordinate with Labor Unions across the industry to push for airline relief and continued protection of Flight Attendant income and health benefits.

In Solidarity,
