Many Tulsa Workers Saved From Furloughs After Stimulus Plan Allots Billions For Airlines, Airports
Billions of dollars of the newly passed stimulus plan will go to airlines and airports that have been struggling through the pandemic. Many airline employees in Tulsa have dealt with furloughs.
13,000 American Airlines employees waiting to be furloughed next month learned they can rip up those notices after congress approved $15 billion to pay airlines. This will put off that question of whether they have a job in Tulsa until September 30, said Dale Danker, the President of the Transport Workers Union of America Local 514 serving Tulsa.
The local American Airlines union serves about 4,600 employees. Danker said the money saves almost 400 local workers from furloughs.

Australia Post restructure driven by gig-economy overhaul of logistics and delivery
Late last month, Australia Post, the state-owned postal service, announced a 15.5 percent year on year jump in revenue to $4.3 billion for the first half of the 2020-21 financial year. This was mostly on the back of a 25.9 percent increase in parcel revenue to $3.4 billion.
While takings from letter mail again declined, from $1.1 billion to $900 million, cost-cutting under the Alternative Delivery Model (ADM) meant losses in that section fell from $87 million to $74.2 million. Parcel delivery produced a $240.8 million profit, yielding an overall after tax return of $166.6 million for the six-month period.
