Joining Local 32BJ’s news conference, New York state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi said: “Under no circumstances would I ever be supporting a $60 billion bailout for these companies and their CEOs, only to subsidize CEO salaries and bonuses and not put first the workers who are making sure the airports run. The workers are the airports’ critical infrastructure. Without workers a wheelchair doesn’t push itself, a bag does not carry itself. These are the people who make these airlines successful.”
