New Report: Taxpayer Dollars Subsidizing American Airlines CEO's 12.2 Million Dollar Salary

A new report by the Institute for Policy Studies sheds light on how our taxpayer dollars are subsidizing outrageous CEO pay at corporations that pay their employees low wages. The report highlights American Airlines. A CWA report from earlier this year found that 27% of the employees at American's wholly-owned subsidiary Envoy Air are paid poverty wages.
