Compensation For Covid Era Airport Employees

The Covid pandemic started long before the acknowledged political, social, medical emergency event and American workers at airports were subjected first to illnesses and deaths to them and unknowing family members.

The compensation for medical care,potential disabilities (the first strain Covid Corona virus) was several months up to two years prior of public confirmation.
The TSA and other border control agents were protected behind glass, and made no action or detainment against (pregnant or not) sick, infirmed, dying, noticeably ill, suspicious persons entering United States Customs, Agriculture and Border Control.
Most of the hands on contamination to employees for wheelchairs, luggage handling, clearance forms, agriculture, restroom attendants, flight attendants, staff in close proximity.
Suffered far beyond all in the government neglect of our/their safety. IAH I'ntl or other international airports abused employees by neglect not having any standard practice or procedures in place for biological threats containment.
Early 2020 the promised pay raise (IAH) was overturned and withdrawn until early 2021.
Employees had poverty wages and no sick pay for contract employees at the airport. So they inadvertently, innocently spread the virus and infected all proximity family and community.

All who worked there before during and force to return while pandemic was still in full force deserve compensation, ongoing medical care, disability hearing, acknowledged for being the true frontline workers who suffered most and first without recognition and compensation.
