AMAN: In response to the tax cut bill that passed this week, John Jordan, owner of Jordan Winery in Sonoma County, California, announces that he will give all eligible winery employees a $1,000 bonus as a result of the passage of the 2017 tax reform bill.
“The heart of any successful business is its employees,” said John Jordan, the 45-year-old entrepreneur and philanthropist behind The John Jordan Foundation. “In a tightening labor market, it’s more important than ever for employees to feel valued and acknowledged. Take home pay for most American workers will increase in 2018, but why wait? Just imagine if we can get 5,000 small businesses, each with around 200 employees, to join us in giving $1,000 bonuses to their employees. We’d be putting close to $1 billion into the pockets of working Americans even before the withholding tax tables change.
Jordan Winery is the first small business to make a $1,000-bonus pledge for each of its 85 employees.
