New Bill Would Help American Airlines Union Workers

[Hatu]

Lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would allow American Airlines pilots, flight attendants and other union workers to defer taxes on the equity they’ll receive at the conclusion of the airline’s Chapter 11 restructuring.

Hope it passes before we get our stake!

Don't hold your breath folks. Any bill that benefits a Union Worker will die in the Republican House of Representatives even if it does get out of committee. If pigs do fly, and it turns out you can get ice in hell, you can be assured that Republican leader Mitch "filibuster king" McConnell will ensure that the bill never sees the light of day. Trust me, you're going pay taxes on it...the tax cuts are for the 1%ers...as union workers we're not allowed into that club.
