“I share the desire to make sure employees who are out of work are also taken care of with both health and unemployment benefits. I am working with Senator Carnahan of Missouri to make sure that this is made part of the overall package. I will cosponsor her bill to provide unemployment assistance, extend healthcare benefits and to provide for worker retraining. We need to act today on aid for the airlines so that future job losses are avoided, and in the future let's make sure we take care of those hard-working employees who have already lost their jobs through no fault of their own.”
