Airport workers strike at DCA

Service workers at National Airport walked off the job yesterday, on strike against their employer, Eulen America, a Delta contractor at DCA. The workers, members of SEIU 32BJ, who are protesting health and safety concerns and belittlement by supervisors, joined other Eulen workers on strike yesterday at four of the nation’s busiest airports including Miami, JFK and Fort Lauderdale. The Spanish-owned contractor has an alarming history of claims filed against it by it’s almost exclusively immigrant workforce for wage theft, discrimination and sexual harassment.
"We're striking today for respect and decency," said Theresa Boyd on WPFW's "Your Rights At Work." Boyd is a checkpoint agent for Eulen. photo: Boyd at DCA
