As Covid infections reach new highs and Congress fails to pass new protections, airport workers are demanding a seat at the table. We are done asking nicely.

On 1/1/21 Houston airport workers expect to have their wages raised to $12/hour, as promised.
@IAH is the only@united hub where contracted airport workers aren't on a path to a $15/hr min wage. Many are paid just $7.25/hr. Unacceptable.#PovertyDoesntFly#FightFor15pic.twitter.com/17FaUEOdmg

@flypdx workers need fair wages and affordable healthcare. Tell@PortOfPortland to pass an Airport Workers’ Bill of Rights to raise standards for airport workers! http://bit.ly/pdxworkers#PDXBillofRights#PovertyDoesntFly#ProtectAllWorkers#PopDiversity#PDXPeoplepic.twitter.com/kcoHGsmC7u

Airlines outsourced jobs like baggage handler, skycap, cabin cleaner and wheelchair agent, but they can't outsource their responsibility to help keep our communities safe from the spread of Covid-19. We need PPE, healthcare, and sick pay NOW!

Last month, after years of rallies, strikes, and protests, contracted airport workers at MSP Airport won $15 an hour by July 2022, as well as crucial policies to protect workers and retain jobs. Another win! https://www.startribune.com/msp-airport-adopts-15-an-hour-minimum-wage-by-2022/572799172/ …

Social distancing doesn't mean the work stops! More than ever, airport workers are organizing across race, place, and even physical space to win better benefits and working conditions for ALL of us.

Airport jobs used to be careers you could raise a family on. But airline CEOs broke union contracts to chase higher and higher profits, creating a system of low-bid contracts that harms workers AND passengers. Join us to tell airlines:

Many Americans skipped Thanksgiving this year, but public health shouldn't be a matter of personal sacrifice. Leaders at every level of government must step up and make air travel safe again. That means protecting airport workers like Serah.

It's
#NationalDisabilityDay! Did you know airlines pay wheelchair agents a "tipped" wage as low as $2.13/hour? By forcing airport workers to rely on tips, airlines push the cost of accessibility to disabled passengers. Passengers and workers deserve better.#PovertyDoesntFly pic.twitter.com/VjEDcH4wbn

"While the minimum wage in New York is $11.10 an hour, workers at JFK and LaGuardia airports will earn $19 per hour by 2023. Over 40,000 airport workers in the Empire State will feel the bump." https://www.kake.com/story/42942842/how-the-minimum-wage-has-changed-in-your-state …

Workers dealt with furloughs, timecuts, and layoffs to give elected officials time to respond to Covid-19 and pass a stimulus to get us through. Eight months later, the Senate refuses to pass the
#HEROESAct, and many are still out of a job. Unacceptable.#PovertyDoesntFly pic.twitter.com/ZuYf6PflAk
