UNITE HERE Local 40

On Friday Feb 22, 2019, the Vancouver Airport Authority (YVR) announced they will be switching food service operators at the White Spot, Burger King and Café Brioche units. This could result in over 90 of us losing our jobs at YVR! Most of us are women – many of us immigrated to Canada – and have worked at the airport for over a decade. Because of contract-flipping, we can be replaced by workers who will be paid lower wages to perform the same work. Please add your name to our petition here!
