More Than 1,000 Airport Workers Set to Strike for $15 an Hour

In New York, more than 1,000 subcontracted airport workers at JFK and La Guardia airports are going on strike today. The workers are protesting harassment and intimidation they say they have faced while organizing for a $15-an-hour wage hike. The strike will include baggage handlers, wheelchair attendants and security officers. It will be the largest strike of subcontracted airport workers since the $15-an-hour campaign began three years ago.
