Contract Workers at Logan Airport Vote to Strike
Feb. 5, 2018
Contract workers for JetBlue Airways and other airlines at Logan Airport have voted to authorize a strike, which could pull 500 baggage handlers, wheelchair attendants, cabin cleaners, and skycaps off the job within the next week. The workers, who are employed by ReadyJet and Flight Services & Systems, known as FSS, say they have been targeted and threatened for union organizing as they continue their six-year effort to become part of 32BJ Service Employees International Union.
The strike would involve about a third of the subcontracted workforce at Logan, making it one of the largest actions at the airport in recent years, according to the union.
