Airport workers plan disruptions on Martin Luther King Jr Day

Washington

WORKERS from nine US airports are planning to block bridges, march through terminals and protest at airline headquarters during a day of ci-vil disobedience on Martin Luther King Jr Day.

The workers - a mix of cleaners, baggage handlers, fuellers and wheelchair attendants - will on Monday risk arrest at airports and other locations including the Mall, to bring attention to their campaign for better wages, the Service Employees International Union said.
