Speaker Pelosi on Friday vowed additional payroll support for airlines was “imminent” and asked them to pause furloughs for tens of thousands of workers.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday said fresh payroll support for airlines was"imminent" and asked them to pause furloughs for tens of thousands of workers. But one airline has already said it won't stop until new legislation is passed.
The airlines had received over $25 billion in assistance as part of the original CARES Act passed in March, which had the stipulation they not make any layoffs until Oct 1. That day passed without fresh support, triggering the furloughs. United Airlines, which on Thursday began furloughing 13,000 workers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
