Swissport LaGuardia Airport Workers Strike - Workers ‘Allege Retaliation For Protesting, Low Wages & Dangerous Working Conditions, Among Other’ Grievances

Amir Khafagy at DocumentedNY.com reports dozens of LaGuardia Airport Ramp and cabin Workers walked off the job on Thursday (June 22nd) in a dramatic escalation of a years-long struggle for fair wages and safe working conditions at one of the Nation’s busiest airports.  The Workers, who are represented by 32BJ Service Employees International Union (SEIU), say they went on a 24-hour Strike because they are fed up with their employer, Swissport USA.  The Workers say the company has committed repeated acts of retaliation, interrogations, and other Unfair Labor Practices in response to Employees’ organizing.  Across the country, Swissport Workers have been sounding the alarm about the myriad of health and safety issues that they say they’ve been forced to endure.
