Here Local 11 voted to take action, pending approval from the National Mediation Board. Employees of food catering company LSG Sky Chefs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strike action, as staff at Los Angeles International (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 LAX on 3 July, but must secure a formal release from the National Mediation Board to be able to officially stop working. The vote was held after an indefinite walkout by employees over pay and working conditions that began last month when they were told their jobs would not continue beyond 30 June.
