Toronto’s Pearson Airport could be hit by baggage handlers’ strike on Thursday
TORONTO — Ground crew for 30 airlines at Pearson International Airport could be walking a picket line Thursday, potentially delaying flights.
The union representing 700 Swissport workers at Pearson filed a 72-hour strike notice on Monday and will ask its members to shoot down the company’s final offer.
“We are suggesting that our members reject this offer,” said Christopher Monette, a spokesman for Teamsters Local 419.
If this happens, the workers — including baggage and cargo handlers and cabin cleaners — will be able to walk off the job on Thursday night.
