SD 1604 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

Resolve An Act allowing for airline catering to be considered covered employees

This bill reclassifies employees of airline catering companies with agreements at Massachusetts Port Authority airports as "Covered Employees" under the existing airport minimum wage policy. It directly affects workers preparing, assembling, or delivering food/beverages to aircraft at Boston Logan Airport or nearby locations, whether working on-site or off-site. The key mechanism expands the definition of "covered employees" to include these catering workers, ensuring they qualify for the airport's minimum wage standards. The Massachusetts Port Authority must update its policy within 30 days of the bill's effective date to implement this change.
