City Council Stands with Logan Service Workers

Aviation service workers of Boston Logan Airport, who are majority immigrant, Black, brown or female, performed essential work during the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore many workers were exposed to the virus or became ill, while others had hours drastically reduced or were laid off.

From 2014 to 2020, the Massachusetts Port Authority required Logan airport operators to provide competitive wages because of the critical importance aviation service workers play in the safe and efficient operation of Logan airport, but has not increased the basic wage since January 2020 (therefore airport workers will earn the state minimum wage starting January 2, 2023).



Bostonians are experiencing the worst inflation in over 20 years, and as such airport workers are having trouble paying for essential household items in a city where housing costs alone are over 100% higher than the national average.



The Council recognizes airport service workers for their essential contributions during the pandemic and supports them in advocating for a family sustaining wage. The Council further urges the Massachusetts Port Authority to pass a higher wage standard so that current and future workers see Boston Logan Airport as a stable place to work.
