Larsen, Estes Reintroduce Bill To Protect Aviation Jobs
The Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Act of 2021, introduced in the House, would provide federal cost-sharing for aviation manufacturing jobs.

Two House lawmakers reintroduced legislation that would provide for federal relief to help preserve aerospace manufacturing jobs. Introduced late last week by House aviation subcommittee chairman Rick Larsen (D-Washington) and Ron Estes (R-Kansas), the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Protection Act of 2021 would establish a temporary 50 percent cost-share program to cover compensation for workers at risk of being furloughed.
