The list of companies giving bonuses is growing...
Sinclair, which is seeking to grow to 200-plus stations with a $4 billion merger with Tribune Media Co., joins several companies including AT&T, Comcast and Fifth Third Bancorp already pledging to give workers one-time bonuses of $1,000 once President Trump signed the bill -- something he did Friday before leaving Washington for the holiday.
Other companies including Boeing, Comcast and Wells Fargo planned other investments. Boeing said it would invest $300 million in its business including $100 million in employee training and education and $100 million as part of its "workforce of the future" initiative.
Broadband and pay-TV provider Comcast, which also owns NBCUniversal, said it expects to invest more than $50 billion over the next five years in its broadband infrastructure and its television, film and theme park businesses.
Wells Fargo said it would boost its employees' minimum wage to $15 per hour, up 11% from its current hourly rate of $13.50, once the law was passed.
In addition to its promised bonuses, Cincinnati regional bank Fifth Third Bancorp said it would also raise the minimum wage for its employees to $15.
