Good Jobs for Good Airports Act

This bill would require employers of airport service workers at small, medium, and large hub airports to pay at least a minimum wage and fringe benefits set by the Secretary of Labor using the Service Contract Act method, or the state or local minimum if that is higher. Covered workers include those doing baggage handling, passenger assistance, security, ticketing, cleaning, concessions, airline catering, and hotel service on airport property, but not government employees or TSA screeners. Employers would have to certify each month, under penalty of perjury, that they meet these pay requirements. The Departments of Labor and Transportation would enforce the rules, maximum civil penalties for violations would be up to three times the usual amount, and interested persons could sue in federal court to enforce them.
