SAN FRANCISCO — In their second week on strike, drivers for Flying Food Group, a catering company at the San Francisco International Airport, rallied at the airport April 7. “We’re united, we’re solid,” Norber Naguit, a driver with nine years with the company, told the Militant.
“We have three demands: for a raise, a better health care agreement and retroactive pay.”
The workers, members of Teamsters Local 2785, were joined at the rally by supporters from other locals, as well as members of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and UNITE HERE Local 2. Production workers at the Flying Food Group’s kitchen are Local 2 members.
“All 40 drivers and three assistants walked out on strike together and no one has crossed,” Joseph Cilia, secretary-treasurer of Local 2785, told the rally. Calling the company’s offer “a joke,” he said that workers at a nearby catering company were making much more per hour than those at Flying Food.
Those who would like to solidarize with this fight are urged to join the picket line that is being organized by the strikers 24/7 outside the Flying Food Group’s kitchen at 240 Littlefield Avenue, South San Francisco.
