Bill > H2145

This bill establishes a minimum wage requirement for employees of airline catering companies working at Logan Airport in Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill mandates that employees of airline catering companies with commercial services agreements with the Massachusetts Port Authority must be paid the same hourly wage as other airport service workers, such as wheelchair assistants, skycaps, ticket agents, janitorial staff, and baggage handlers. The bill broadly defines "airline catering" to include not just food preparation, but also the assembly and delivery of food, beverages, and related supplies to aircraft at Logan Airport or nearby locations. The wage adjustment must be implemented within 30 days of the act's effective date. The bill is described as an emergency measure, emphasizing the immediate need to establish fair wages for these workers. By ensuring these employees receive wages comparable to other airport service workers, the legislation aims to provide more equitable compensation for airline catering staff.
