Strike Averted in the Airline Food Industry

As Jerry Seinfeld (right, tapping on the window of the Oval Office) might ask, "What's the deal with airline food service workers?"  Well, the deal is that they agreed at the end of August to a contract, narrowly avoiding a strike, after negotiations stretching back to the 2017.  You can find the union's statement here.

Important excerpt:

Highlights include raising the minimum wage nationwide to $17 per hour, a new quality, affordable healthcare plan, a new wage structure that increases year to year and rewards both years of service and job skills.  Workers will also receive additional sick time and better equipment to keep them safe when working in extreme temperatures, from refrigerated food prep rooms to hot airport tarmacs.

Sounds like a win.
