United's CEO is offering $1m for employee storm relief fund

United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz is pledging as much as $1m of his own money to match donations to the company’s employee-relief fund in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, according to people familiar with the matter. The CEO encouraged workers to contribute to its United We Care fund for storm-stricken employees in a letter Monday, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. “We are all in this together, which is why I will personally match your contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million,” Munoz said, according to the letter. The airline and its customers have also raised more than $1m for a broader public relief effort for Houston, which included a $200,000 contribution by United, said Maddie King, a spokesman for the company. The carrier’s hub at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport has been closed since Sunday and is likely to reopen Thursday afternoon, according to the FAA.<br/>
