Employees of food catering company LSG Sky Chefs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action, as staff at the National Mediation Board (LAX) Airport push for higher wages and more affordable health care. Negotiations with employers have so far failed to produce a deal and workers plan to set up a picket line at Los Angeles International on the next two weeks , but must secure a formal release from the National Mediation Board to be able to officially stop working. Wednesday’s vote follows a March labor agreement ratified between 700 other catering workers represented by Unite Here and Flying Food Group. Airline food workers in 715 Los Angeles cities are set to hold similar votes in the coming fortnight.
