Airlines to lay off thousands of workers as COVID-19 support expires -…

- - - - Workers are mainly worrying about if they will still have their job, how long will they be out, what am they going to do in the meantime if they do get furloughed
      - The weekly unemployed remain to 1 million.
  - - - About 1000 airline workers have been tested positive with coronavirus
- - - - The airline industry globally faces an estimated loss of 84 billion dollars.
- - - - According to an interviewee stated in the guardian, "Delta has repeatedly said they won’t furlough or lay off workers, but every other airline is doing so, and the air traffic and flights just aren’t there. There’s no transparency and Delta isn’t telling us anything.”
        
        The lack of communication between the two sides have caused employees stress about their employment and many other issues. The relationship between the two sides are not transparent and actions are made very sudden without any early notices
  - - - The following are some of the examples of the amount of employees that are laid off or voluntarily leaving:
        "United Airlines said in early July 2020 it could lay off 36,000 employees, about half its workforce in the US.
        At JetBlue, over 60% of its workforce, around 20,000 employees, have taken voluntary leave to reduce furloughs in October."
        
        No airlines are able to sustain their business and support their financial state, the current system to every airline is to lay off employees until further notice.
- - - - After the virus, there could be a shortage of workers
      - Laying off employers are a temporary solution to the amount of loss airlines are suffering, but could cause more problems in the near future
