Wheelchair assistants, luggage handlers, and skycaps at Reagan National and Dulles International airports are striking today to fight to be paid $15 an hour. Some of the employees make only $6.15 an hour, plus tips. The airports did not suffer flight or service disruptions as a result of the strike. The Service Employees International Union is representing the workers and has been advocating for a living wage for airport and fast food workers across the country.
