The hard work and perseverence of Sky Chefs workers have paid off! In a significant victory in the Dallas Sky Chefs Kitchen recently, three women won their arbitration case, getting put back to work with back pay. Many co-workers backed their fight, even testifying at the arbitration, and a fourth worker was put back to work without even waiting for an arbitration. The four workers will receive over $20,000 in back pay. Click to read more about their story in Chinese, English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Gate Gourmet drivers at the JFK kitchen in New York know from experience that sticking together creates power! Recently they stood together and fought to get their proper lunch breaks enforced. The drivers backed each other up and filed a grievance. They won $45,000 and made sure that in the future they will get their lunch breaks correctly or get paid overtime if they work.
