RICHMOND, B.C. — The union representing food service workers at Vancouver International Airport says more than 200 have walked off the job to push for higher wages.
A statement from Unite Here Local 40 says the workers are employed by SSP America, which operates more than a dozen food outlets at the airport.
The move ahead of the Canada Day long weekend comes after the union says workers turned down SSP's latest offer as they negotiate their first collective agreement.
