Association of Flight Attendants: The solution is direct payroll subsidies

I thought this was relevant for discussion as a way to skip-aside corporate greed and help those directly affected. The union told Congress the same. Has this been tried before?

"We have told Congress that any stimulus funds for the aviation industry must come with strict rules: continued paychecks for every worker and NO stock buy backs, dividends, executive bonuses, broken contracts, or interference with organizing."

This is from Sara Nelson, whose role as a union leader for the AFA played a key role in ending the government shutdown last year.
