This morning, 1,000 food service workers at the San Francisco International Airport went on strike to demand higher wages. The airport's flight-bound are being encouraged to pack their lunch today.
The airport's flight-bound may want to pack their own lunch today , says Ted Waechter media representative at UNITE HERE Local 2, the Bay Area’s hospitality workers' union.
“One meal for the airport is like $21. And my way wage is like $17.05,” says Blanca Gay, who works two jobs at SFO. “Having healthcare for me and my family will give me peace of mind. I won't have to take out money from my pocket...I don't really have anything to take out,” she says.
