United Airlines announced that they plan to ask more than 3,000 employees at San Francisco International Airport to take unpaid leave as the New Crown (CCP virus) outbreak continues to affect tourism.
United Airlines issued a statement saying they will ask 3,139 employees at San Francisco International Airport to take unpaid leave. Some of these employees were already on unpaid leave during last summer’s near tourism shutdown, but many were able to return to work during the winter after a $15 billion federal bailout for the tourism industry.
United Airlines sent a “WARN” notice (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) to 14,000 employees via email in late January, informing them that they would be on unpaid leave starting April 1. They were put on unpaid leave starting April 1. Of the 14,000 employees, 22 percent are San Francisco-area employees, but it’s not clear which departments most of the employees asked to take unpaid leave are from.
United Airlines said in a statement, “Receiving a WARN notice does not mean you will be on unpaid leave beginning April 1, but it does mean we expect your job will be affected. We will continue to look for ways to reduce costs, and the number of unpaid leaves may decrease depending on how many people from each work team end up accepting the latest Voluntary Separation Leave (VSL) program.”
