Strike at O'Hare Airport!


Chris

We still have things to be thankful for, like workers rising up and demanding justice! Today hundreds of airport workers organizing with SEIU Local 1 announced that they will go on STRIKE on Tuesday November 29th to win $15/an hour!

O’Hare Workers One Day Strike

O’Hare Airport workers held a one-day strike rally on Nov. 29, 2016 to underline not only the exploitation, abuse, poverty wages and retaliation at the Chicago airport that they experience. Their concern was also the alarming flaunting of health and safety standards for passengers and well as employees. One worker cleaning airplanes tells us: “I feel it’s not sanitary the way we clean...We shouldn’t be having to clean with the same rag they clean the bathroom with for the table…We shouldn’t have to use the same solution for everything. We shouldn’t have clean the galley with this and then clean the tables with it. Clean the toilet with this, and then have the table touch it.” Scenes from 2,000 workers mass picketing at O’Hare, and comments at a Jobs with Justice community forum on Dec. 5.
