LGA workers strike over lack of Ebola protection

From NY Magazine:

About 200 Air Serv employees at La Guardia's Terminal D have staged a strike amid concerns about the spread of Ebola. Air Serv workers are responsible for cleaning the cabins of aircrafts between flights.

The strike started Wednesday night and is supposed to last for 24 hours. The workers say they're regularly exposed to gross bodily fluids left behind by plane passengers, and they don't have the necessary protective gear to fend off Ebola.

Wouldn't the lack of international capable planes at LGA make it one of the safer airports to work at?

No, because people land in other international airports and then switch to domestic flights.

Well, if these folks don't want to work cleaning planes, there's always a steady stream of lower wage, "undocumented guest workers" willing to take their place!

Jobs with exposure to Ebola!

Jobs Americans are NO LONGER willing to do!

WAR IS PEACE!
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY!
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!
DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH!

What are they complaining about. Ebola only kills 60% of the time.

Good for these employees! Why didn't the government think of their safety too?
