Airport Workers Take a Stand for Good Jobs
Thousands of workers at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, Philadelphia International and the Fort Lauderdale airports are uniting in the fight to raise their pay, benefit and training standards. Many essential passenger services like security, screening, baggage handling, and cabin cleaning are subcontracted out to contractors that often pay wages that keep workers in perpetual poverty, provide very limited training and opportunity for advancement.
