A spokesperson for Charlotte Douglas International Airport said the hub will "ensure a smooth travel experience" as the airport expects more than 1 million travelers this week.

Last month, the SEIU called a 24-hour strike of 2,700 Michigan Medicine healthcare workers. At least 12,000 hospital employees belonging to various other unions were instructed to cross the picket lines by other healthcare unions rather than stand in solidarity with their brothers and sisters.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport service workers have gone on strike during the busy Thanksgiving travel week to protest what they call “poverty wages”.

Airports and highways are expected to be jam-packed during Thanksgiving week, a holiday period likely to end with another record day for air travel in the United States

Some airport workers at Charlotte International Airport are on strike days before holiday travel ramps up for Thanksgiving due to poverty wages and unfair labor practices, according to the Service Employees International Union's press release.

Workers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport's key unions went on strike Monday morning, just days before a million travelers were expected to pass through the airport for Thanksgiving holiday travel.

Some 80 million people are set to take to the roads, railways, skies and even cruise ships this week, each making trips of more than 50 miles from home between Tuesday and next Monday.

Service workers at Charlotte Douglass International Airport walked the picket lines Monday, going on strike to fight what they say are unlivable wages. Now back working a day later, Charlotte airport worker Laura Kelly says she believes their message was heard and hopes their demands will soon be met.
