Airline Catering: It’s Our Turn

10,000 UNITE HERE members working for LSG Sky Chefs workers prepare, pack, and deliver food and beverages served aboard flights for American, Delta, United, Alaska, and other major U.S. airlines. Though their work is essential to airline operations, requiring skill and precision to prevent flight delays and ensure food safety, workers report that they earn unlivable wages, and that the employer-provided health care plan is too expensive.

Meanwhile, American, Delta, and United combined made over $46.2 billion in revenue last quarter.

Sky Chefs workers have been working to negotiate a new union contract with improved wages and benefits since their contract became amendable at the end of 2018. Last year, thousands of airline catering workers at Gate Gourmet won a new union contract with historic wage increases and improved healthcare benefits. Now, Sky Chefs workers—who do the same job—are demanding the same respect.

Join us in telling the airlines—including American, Delta, United, and Alaska—that no airline catering worker should have to choose between paying their bills or getting medical treatment. IT’S OUR TURN!
