In the wake of a CBS4 report this week detailing the low wages and poor working conditions at Miami International Airport (MIA) for passenger service agents at American Airlines-owned Envoy Air and for workers employed by Eulen America, Congresswoman Donna Shalala and Rep. Frederica Wilson held a congressional roundtable featuring airport workers to demand that American Airlines and Delta take action against the hazardous working conditions.
