Expressing the Support of Democrats for Airport Workers in Philadelphia
- Target:
- American Airlines, Airport Subcontractors and the City of Philadelphia
- Region:
- United States of America
The hard working Airport Workers of Philadelphia are seeking a living wage, better scheduling, clarity on sick pay, a more predictable disciplinary system, and to be able to unionize.
They voted overwhelmingly to strike at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to gain a fair wage and better working conditions.
We, the undersigned delegates to the Democratic National Convention and registered Democrats, support the airport workers at Philadelphia International Airport seeking a $15 living wage, better scheduling, clarity on sick pay, a more predictable disciplinary system, and the right to unionize without intimidation from employers.
The Democratic Party has historically supported and promoted the right of workers to unionize, to make a living wage and to seek better working conditions. Furthermore, the draft platform of the Democratic National Convention supports a $15 minimum wage for all workers in the United States.
We call on the City of Philadelphia, subcontractors and American Airlines to reach an agreement with airport workers at Philadelphia International Airport seeking better working conditions and a fair, living wage of $15 and hour prior to the start of the Democratic National Convention July 25 - 28, 2016. Should an agreement not be reached, we support the workers in their right to strike.
