The city tax is required to be paid by the employee.”

I did some independent research on this. It seems to fall under the “double taxation” clause in the tax code. I believe if your already paying city tax in your home state then you maybe able to request a refund. For those that live in a tax free state, I think you maybe out of luck.

I spoke with an AA Captain yesterday. He was unaware of any additional tax coming out of his check. He lived in RDU.
