#SolidaritySeason:
Supporting Our Airport Workers

Monday, September 18, 2023

America’s 300,000 airport service workers – cabin cleaners, ramp agents, baggage handlers, passenger attendants, security guards and janitors – have worked throughout the travel surge and extreme heat, many for poverty wages without affordable healthcare, paid time off, or even basic heat protections, like access to water.

With just one more vote needed to pass an amendment that would include fair wages and benefits in the FAA Reauthorization bill, airport service workers are leaving it all on the floor to ensure Congress heeds their calls for the pay, benefits and respect they deserve.

Tomorrow, airport service workers from across the country will hold rallies, protests, speak outs and more in actions at or near American Airlines hubs in Charlotte, Dallas and Phoenix, where they’ll demand Congress write airport service workers into the FAA bill.

Join with Airport Workers this #SolidaritySeason 

Join with airport service workers organizing with SEIU, Members, Pilots, Flight Attendants,  other unions and partner organizations in a major show of force as we demand Congressional action to ensure fair wages and benefits like affordable health care and paid time off for airport service workers.

Tuesday, September 19th

Dallas/ Ft. Worth: 10am CT at 4600 Highway 360, Fort Worth, TX 76155
Charlotte: 11:45am ET at Newberry St. & Wilkinson Blvd

The largely Black, Brown and Immigrant powered airport service workforce are demanding Congress help stabilize air travel by including the Good Jobs for Good Airports fair wage and benefits standards in the FAA reauthorization bill which will:

• Set a fair wage, healthcare and paid time off standard for airport service workers
• Stabilize air travel for passengers
• Address economic & racial disparities
• Make airports safer and more secure
