Hundreds of airline catering workers shut down LAX entrance

Hundreds of workers aligned with Unite Here Local 11, the politically influential hospitality union representing hotel, food-service and airport workers across Southern California, marched onto Century Boulevard and blocked traffic outside LAX’s pickup and drop-off zones on Tuesday evening. The action, involving employees of Flying Food Group, lasted nearly two hours before Los Angeles police in riot gear cleared the intersection shortly after 6:15 p.m.
