Legislative Action Alert: Your Action Needed Now on Critical Legislation
Your Action Needed
Now on Critical Legislation
There is critical legislation
going through the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee
that will be voted on tomorrow, May 9th. The legislation would move
to an earlier date the June 28th deadline for air carriers applying for
federal loan guarantees that Congress made available to air carriers following
the disasters of September 11.
This date change would severely
harm US Airways' chances of securing a much-needed loan guarantee.
Please send this fax to your
U.S. Representative today by clicking on the following action alert
link via the web: http://www.unionvoice.org/campaign/actionalert_5802
Please go directly to the
above link to easily send the FAX.
(Below is
the sample letter:)
Subject: Dear Representative
Dear [decision maker
name automatically inserted here],
I am a flight attendant with
US Airways and a constituent living in your Congressional District.
Please contact members of
the House Appropriations Committee and tell them that changing the deadlines
set out by Congress immediately following the events of September 11 that
allow air carriers to apply for federal loan guarantees to assist with
financial difficulties caused by the terrorist attacks is wrong.
US Airways has followed the
law in good faith, expending money and energy to meet the requirements
and deadlines set out by the Stabilization Board which oversees the airline
loan guarantee process. The deadline for this process must not now be changed.
Thank you for your attention
to this important issue that could affect the lives of US Airways 36,000
employees and our families.
Sincerely,
|
