The Compass United Lounges in LAX ratify their first union contract

After fighting for nine years—a fight first started by LA Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez when he was a union organizer—the Compass-United Lounges at LAX finally ratified their first union contract. Workers won raises, healthcare, pension, and the legal fund. Workers will be making between $29 and $33 an hour depending on whether they register for healthcare. This new contract will cover over 130 workers.
