Well, here are the facts publicly announced less than 24 hours after the passing of the Tax Law, and this is only the beginning. A slew of big businesses Wednesday announced plans to increase employee and benefits plans after a sweeping GOP tax plan that slashes the corporate tax rate made it through Congress. Wells Fargo, Fifth Third Bancorp, Boeing and Comcast all reportedly unveiled the good news. Everything you will read is absolute fact.
- Earlier Wednesday, AT&T announced it would give more than 200,000 workers a special $1,000 bonus to celebrate the signing of the tax-cut bill.
- According to Axios, Fifth-Third Bancorp will raise the minimum wage of its workforce to $15 per hour — a move that'll increase the payout to 3,000 of its workers who make less than that.
- Meanwhile, CNBC reported San Francisco-based Wells Fargo will up its minimum wage to $15 an hour, and also will allocate $400 million in donations to community and nonprofit organizations in 2018.
- The Chicago-based Boeing Company said it's "still studying all of the provisions of the new legislation," but has committed $300 million for charitable giving, employee development programs and "workplace of the future" facilities and infrastructure enhancement.
- In a statement chairman and CEO of Comcast NBC Universal Brian Roberts said the company will award $1,000 in bonuses to more than 100,000 eligible front line and non-executive employees. It'll also spend $50 billion over the next five years to improve and extend its broadband plant and capacity. Roberts said this move would create "thousands of new direct and indirect jobs."
