Good Jobs for Good Airports Act

The Good Jobs for Good Airports Act establishes federal minimum wage and fringe benefit standards for workers at small, medium, and large hub airports, including those employed by private contractors. It defines covered service workers as individuals performing tasks such as passenger assistance, security, ground handling, and concessions, ensuring they receive pay and benefits at least equal to the higher of the federal Service Contract Act rates or applicable state and local laws. Employers must submit monthly certifications confirming compliance with these standards, while the Department of Labor and Department of Transportation are granted enforcement powers to investigate violations and impose penalties. The legislation also requires the Secretary of Transportation to publish complaint data and submit annual reports to Congress regarding implementation efforts.
