Airline catering workers have been FED UP with earning poverty wages and high healthcare premiums since long before even 2018. And throughout the month of December, working people from the “Big Four” airline catering employers – Gate Gourmet, LSG Sky Chefs, Flying Food Group, and United Airlines – joined in collective action for the first time by holding a variety of demonstrations across 20 U.S. cities. From Miami to Minneapolis, San Francisco to New York, and Denver to D.C., the series of actions marked the official relaunch of the “FED UP” movement that began last summer, and let the airlines know that the working people who feed thousands of airline passengers every day have a new year’s resolution to do whatever it takes in 2019 to earn their fair share of the multi-billion-dollar industry’s soaring profits.
