Acting Secretary Keith Sonderling @Sonderling47 - I’ve spoken with the @SpiritAirlines CEO, union leaders of flight attendants and pilots, and @USDOT to coordinate support for impacted workers.
The Department of Labor is taking ACTION to support affected workers and help them get back to work quickly. From immediate unemployment support to job placement and retraining, here’s what @USDOL is doing for displaced workers now:

We’re working to ensure fast processing, so Americans aren’t left waiting. The Department of Labor is deploying Rapid Response teams to affected hubs to help workers:
- File Unemployment Insurance claims
- Get eligibility guidance
- Access benefits as quickly as possible

𝗝𝗢𝗕 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧
Our goal is to get workers back into good-paying jobs fast! We’re connecting Spirit employees directly to new opportunities by:
- Coordinating with major airlines and aviation employers
- Hosting targeted job fairs and recruitment events
- Prioritizing placement through American Job Centers
𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚
