Labor Union: Airport Catering Staff Don’t Have Air-Conditioned Trucks

According to a report by Unite Here, a labor union representing the hospitality industry, conditions for airport catering employees are brutal – including no air-conditioning in trucks during 100-degree weather.

“LSG Sky Chefs orders most of its new trucks without air-conditioning to cut costs,” said Unite Here in the report. “In other cases, the company has disabled or removed air-conditioning units from its trucks.”

A spokesperson for LSG Sky Chefs, a catering firm, commented that “As a practical matter, air conditioning in delivery vehicles provides little benefit if drivers spend most of their time outside the cab of the truck, as is the case with our drivers.”
