Houston Airport Workers Get $20 Minimum | Texas News

Houston airport workers are set to get a major pay boost starting August, with the minimum wage jumping from $15 to $20 an hour — and it’s just the beginning. By 2028, it’ll climb to $23 an hour, thanks to a new executive order signed by Mayor John Whitmire. The raise covers employees at all three major Houston airports, including airlines, concessions, and contractors. The mayor says this move will stabilize staffing, improve service for travelers, and ensure one job can truly support a family. Union leaders hail it as a win for organized labor, calling it essential as living costs soar — giving workers more security and time with loved ones. The phased increase hits $21 in early 2027, $22 by fall of that year, then $23 by 2028. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
