SFO Food Workers Threatening Strike

About to get more popular...

Hundreds of food service workers at San Francisco International have authorized a two-day strike if their demands for more pay and better benefits aren't met. That would mean no dry turkey sandwiches and no wilted caesar salads for the hundreds of thousands of travelers who would land at SFO during the potential work stoppage.

All 48 of the restaurants, bars and other food service outlets at the airport would shut down if a strike is called. Negotiations continue today and tomorrow, so workers likely won't walk out before the weekend, if at all.

We don't normally buy food at the airport, but a long delay--always a possibility at SFO--could quickly put a dent in our stash of trail mix. What could possibly make waiting out bad weather at the airport worse than no food? No bars!
