Good Jobs for Good Airports Act
To amend title 49, United States Code, require employers of airport service workers at small, medium, and large hub airports to ensure that airport service workers are paid the prevailing wage and provided fringe benefits, and for other purposes.
HB9678 is a bill that aims to amend federal law by requiring employers at small, medium, and large hub airports to pay airport service workers the prevailing wage and offer them fringe benefits. This means workers would get the standard wages and benefits that are typically offered in the same industry and area. The bill was introduced on July 14, 2026, by Jesus Garcia (Democrat) and co-sponsored by Brian Fitzpatrick (Republican).
The bill affects airport service workers and their employers at various airports. If passed, it would improve wages and benefits for these workers, ensuring they are compensated fairly for their jobs. This could lead to better living standards for the workers and potentially reduce turnover in the industry.
Currently, the bill is in its early stages, having been introduced and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, as well as the Committee on Education and Workforce. These committees will review the bill and may hold hearings before deciding whether to move it forward in the legislative process.
