Airport Workers United

Working for Safer Skies and Better Lives

SEIU USWW Airport Workers United represents more than 4,000 workers serving airline travelers in California's major airports including:

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Oakland International Airport (OAK)
San Jose International Airport (SJC)
John Wayne Airport Orange County (SNA)
Burbank Bob Hope Airport (BUR)
Sacramento International Airport (SAC)
San Diego International Airport (SAN)

Passenger service workers, security officers, sky caps, baggage handlers, cabin cleaners, janitors, ramp and ground crew — all the subcontracted service workers in airports — are united in USWW to create quality jobs and quality services in California's airports. Taken together we are the eyes and ears of security and the hands and hearts of quality services at the airport.

Working together with disability rights advocates, community leaders and airport directors, we're calling on the airlines to take responsibility for the security and quality of services in California's airports.
