SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Safe and effective airport operations are es-
sential to national commerce and the general wel-
fare. 
(2) A well-trained, stable workforce at our Na-
tion’s airports is critical to ensuring public safety 
and security, as well as the health and safety of the 
public and protection from infectious diseases. 
(3) The Federal Government has invested bil-
lions of dollars in creating and maintaining our Na-
tion’s aviation infrastructure, reflecting the national 
interest in maintaining airports across the country. 
(4) Airport services are most effective when the 
workforce providing those services is able to earn a 
living wage and able to secure adequate health ben-
efit coverage. In fact, meeting the growing chal-
lenges of operating airports securely and efficiently 
requires the recruitment and retention of excellent 
staff in all of the classifications of employees who 
work in airport services and operations. 
(5) Effective management of airports and effec-
tive airport security requires that workforce turnover 
be reduced and that the workforce be highly trained 
and highly motivated.
