Good Jobs for Good Airports Act
S 753, the "Good Jobs for Good Airports Act," requires airports receiving federal funding to pay covered airport service workers a minimum wage of $15 per hour or higher (based on local standards, the Service Contract Act, or state/local laws), plus minimum fringe benefits. It directly affects workers in roles like baggage handling, security, concessions, cleaning, and ticketing at airports classified as "small," "medium," or "large hub" airports. Key mechanisms include annual certification by airport operators that all covered workers meet these standards, with compliance tied to eligibility for federal airport grants. The law does not override stricter state or local wage laws but sets a baseline for federally funded airport projects.
