Chuy Garcia: “If we want a top-notch national air travel system, we need national wage and benefit standards for these taxpayer-funded…”

Latino, Black, and Brown communities are still the same groups of people that will be harmed the most by further cuts to transit.

It is critical that Federal investments directly benefit working people and don't displace existing jobs.

The proposed H.R. 1499, the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act, sponsored by my dear colleague and T&I Committee Member, Rep. Chuy Garcia, will set national wage and benefits levels at major airports that receive federal funding.

That's why I'm proud that at the Austin airport in my district we have set $20/hour as a bare minimum for workers.
