UNION JOBS ARE AT RISK!

 

Call your US Senators at 888-848-4824 and tell them to pass Senate Bill 4634.

Call your US Representative at 888-907-9365 and tell them to pass House Bill 8345.

 

“Hello, I am a constituent calling to tell my (Senator/Representative) that aviation workers need a relief package before October 1 to stop mass job loss and cuts to small airports that also hurt veterans and other Americans who count on air service to get their medicines in the mail. Both parties and the White House are on record with overwhelming support for an extension to the Payroll Support Program for essential workers and to keep service in place to small communities. But words of support won’t keep us flying or help us pay our bills. We need a COVID-19 relief package with our payroll support passed TODAY. In [7] days we’re out of work and millions are hurting without this relief! Keep us connected to our jobs, paychecks, & healthcare. We are counting on you. Thank you.”

Tell Congress to fund Amtrak NOW to prevent these devastating cuts.

One week from today, on October 1, Amtrak will slash service and cut 2,000 careers if Congress does not come through with additional funding. This is a slap in the face to all the essential workers who have been serving the public throughout this pandemic - sacrificing their health and time with their families and loved ones. 

Tell Congress to fund Amtrak NOW to prevent these devastating cuts. 

Amtrak is using the pandemic to reduce or suspend service on many of the routes across the country with the intention of making them permanent. This is part of the current business model for the future of Amtrak.

It is time to act! It is time to ensure that our national network of long-distance trains continues to function at current frequency.

Send a letter to Congress NOW and tell them to support Amtrak funding and save our jobs!
