A new executive order has been announced, which will increase the wages of airport workers. The order, announced by Mayor John Whitmire, will raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour initially. Further increases are planned, with the wage reaching $23 an hour by 2028. The increases will be implemented in stages, with rises to $21 and $22 an hour in 2027 before the final increase.
The wage increase is expected to benefit thousands of workers, with some seeing a $5-per-hour raise this year. The goal of the increase is not only to raise wages but also to provide greater economic security for workers.
More information on the executive order and its implications is available from the source.
