Up to 1,000 food workers at San Francisco International Airport went on strike Thursday morning, closing many of the airport’s restaurants amid a winter storm that’s delaying flights out of the Bay Area for hours.
“Travelers – bring your own food if you’re flying out of the San Francisco International Airport!” Unite Here Local 2, a hospitality workers’ union, said in a statement posted on its website.
The strike affects 55 restaurants owned by 23 companies at SFO, the union said in a news release. The strike is the latest move in an ongoing dispute with the restaurant companies over healthcare payments and job security.
“The restaurants at SFO bank huge money from airline passengers,” Jesse Johnson, a union board member, said in the news release. “We’re out here fighting for our families.”
