Envoy and Piedmont Passenger Service Agents Call for Fair Wages

Passenger service agents from American Airlines' subsidiaries Envoy Air and Piedmont Airlines, members of CWA, gathered at airports across the country on Monday – ahead of Tax Day – to rally for sustainable, family supporting wages.

American and other corporations are facing national scrutiny over how they have used benefits from the Republican corporate tax cut bill that they claimed would lift wages for working families. The company posted $1.9 billion in profits last year and is expected to reap millions from the tax bill, but Envoy and Piedmont agents have faced years-long delays in contract negotiations, with both companies refusing to address the critical issue for working families: permanent, sustainable wages.
