Swissport’s roughly 100 employees, who are members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, rejected a tentative contract deal in a 90 per cent vote last Friday. Salaries and work-life balance are the main points of contention between the employer and the workers, who have been without a contract since August.
