As many as 1000 Service Employees International Union (SEIU) workers at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) are considering going on strike on Thanksgiving eve in what is the busiest travel day of the year.

Andrew Gross-Gaitan, the director of the Southern California Airports Division of SEIU, said the protest would be in response to an LAX contractor that failed to comply with the city’s Living Wage Ordinance.

Couldn’t be Ex-LAX. They don’t give a sh*t. Taking the day off just before the busiest traveling day of the year is scummy, not sh*tty.

You can figure around 200k will travel in or out of LAX on Wednesday, and be affected. Everyone of them will remember the day, and the people involved. It’s just another negative mark on why unions aren’t a good thing.

What happens when several hundred stranded passengers inside the terminal find out that the few dozen people on the picket line outside are resonsible for it?

I wonder who’s cheering, except them for themselves.

Of course as last week taught us, don’t underestimate the stupidity...

Fire them all now. Give passengers the opportunity to make alternative arrangements.

This should be publicized as the action of an Obama ally. SEIU is one of Obama’s main armies.

While I despise most all unions, the SEIU has to me the filthiest POS Marxist union in America.

No doubt about it. I took special pleasure in helping to crush their forced dues skim in Michigan last week.

Per LA Weekly:
Airport workers who have that day off, or airport workers who are
getting off shift or start a shift later on will be participating, but the
workers that are currently on the clock will not be walking off.
