Striking San Francisco airport workers to travelers: Bring your own food

Travelers flying through San Francisco International Airport may want to bring snacks. Roughly 1,000 workers at the airport's restaurants, bars, coffee shops and lounges went on strike Monday to demand higher pay.

"Travelers should plan to bring their own food, as workers are on strike at virtually every food and beverage outlet within the airport," Unite Here Local 2, a union that represents hospitality workers in the Bay Area, stated in a news release. 

Most of the cashiers, baristas, cooks, dishwashers, bartenders, servers and lounge attendants make $17.05 an hour and haven't had a raise in three years, according to Unite Here. Negotiations for increased wages have been underway for nine months, according to the labor group.
