Compensation
There were complaints from baggage handlers. Passenger traffic to the airport increased
considerably. Due to the increase, it became necessary to change many of the airports
existing policies in order to accommodate a spread of travelers. As a result, the baggage
handlers expended extra effort in carrying out their duties. The baggers noticed no
proportionate revision in their compensation. Supervisors stated this has caused
considerable discontentment among the baggage handlers and if the problem is not address
immediately, this airport will suffer. Cartwright-Porter Airport understood making special
considerations to one labor category would most certainly cause strife for others. The
larger number of travelers will affect ticket agents and the grounds crew. Cartwright-Porter
made a decision to increase cash incentives on compensation. Compensation is often the
cause of discontentment among employees in an organization. Management and
employees usually have conflicting views on compensation structure. Cartwright-Porter
elected cash benefits. The company tried to keep management and baggage handlers
satisfied. The best option is to choose benefits valuable to the baggage handlers. Though
the proximity of the situation may dictate that the luggage handlers compensation package
be upgraded first, definitelythe other labor categories deserve the same consideration.
