I started at LSG Sky Chefs in October 2010 in Retail on the production crew. I was later promoted to Quality Assurance Technician; a year later I became the Supervisor Assistant in the Airline Food Department, which gave me the opportunity to become the Retail Supervisor.

I then moved back to Airline as the Assembly & E&S Supervisor. In September, I was just promoted to Operations Manager over Assembly, E&S, Hot & Cold Food.

My success at Sky Chefs allowed me to purchase my first home and sponsor my family back in Kenya to come to the United States.

A Quick History of Our Contract Negotiations:

How We Got to Where We Are

We began this negotiation in October 2018. As a company with a history of union negotiations spanning five decades, we have a track record of reaching agreements with our employees. We are currently in negotiations to reach another successful agreement. After several meetings, the government provided a mediator in May 2019 to help both sides move closer together. Progress is being made and we remain optimistic an agreement can be reached.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much would the union’s current demands cost the company?
A: A total of about $800 million over the next four years.
Q: Can the company meet the union’s demands by simply telling its airline and commercial customers to pay more?
A: No. The company has no control over what customers decide to pay us. We face competition from an increasing number of companies that are bidding for our customers’ business. We must keep our costs competitive to keep our current customers, and win new ones, in order to keep providing jobs and fair wages and benefits to our employees.
Q: Could the company meet the union’s demands?
A: No. If we agreed to the union’s demands, the company would go out of business and every job would be lost. That’s how excessive the union’s demands are. And that’s why we have not been able to propose a counter-offer to the union yet.
Q: When you say the company cannot afford the union’s demands, what exactly do you mean?
A: Here is an example: The union’s wage demand alone would cost the company $72.4 million in only the first year of the new contract. That figure is several times the profit margin that LSG Sky Chefs generates.

The Facts About Calling a Strike

The union cannot call a strike until the federal government allows it to. It doesn’t matter if the union has asked employees to vote on a strike. If you hear or see information saying the union or employees can call a strike, please tell your manager. Any strike before government approval is illegal.
