Chicago O�Hare International Airport workers will strike on Tuesday, Nov. 29.

Service Employees International Union Local 1 officials announced the date of their strike Monday morning at the airport and on the union�s Twitter account.

About 500 workers committed to a strike after a vote Thursday. The workers involved have been trying to organize with the union’s help. They work mainly for private contractors at the airport.

The workers are seeking union rights and a $15 per hour wage. They include baggage handlers, cabin cleaners, janitors, and wheelchair attendants.

SEIU Local 1 President Tom Balanoff says they don’t expect to shut down the airport but will create a disruption. The strike comes during the busy Thanksgiving holiday travel week.
