Tell Atlantic Street Capital to Bring Back Airport Workers

On November 4th, 2025, GAT/Sky Café, a company owned by Connecticut-based private equity firm Atlantic Street Capital, took over the in-flight catering operations for American Airlines at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This change has resulted in a mass layoff of nearly 200 workers, many of whom dedicated years of service to the airport and the city with the preceding contractor, LSG Sky Chefs. Sky Café failed to rehire many of these skilled workers and would not prioritize their applications for new positions in the exact same jobs as they had before. Take Action!

Aramark Workers At Arizona State University Have Had Enough!

Dozens of Arizona State University dining hall and food service workers employed by Aramark protested alleged unfair labor practices (ULP’s). The ULP charges, filed with the National Labor Relations Board, allege surveillance and interrogation by Aramark management.

“I want us to be able to feel comfortable going to our manager when we have a problem, instead of being silenced or pushed away or just being afraid because we don’t know how the manager is going to react,” said Domiyono Hardy, a worker at Manzanita Dining Hall. You can read the full article here!

FAIR GAMES: A NEW DEAL FOR OUR FUTURE

Los Angeles will become the mega events capital of the world over the next several years.  During 2026 through 2028, our city will host—among other events—the FIFA World Cup, the Super Bowl, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games.  Such mega events and the massive investments required to make them happen should have a positive impact for the city’s residents, including the workers that make the games possible. But in recent decades, in country after country, global sporting events have failed to produce lasting benefits for host communities. 

NO KINGS!

We showed up and stood strong at the No Kings protest in Phoenix, Arizona, marching in solidarity with workers and communities demanding dignity, justice, and a voice. No one should live under the rule of unchecked power. We believe in democracy, not hierarchy.

STAND WITH RUSTY’S WORKERS!

Earlier this year, Rusty’s, a longtime restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier, closed its doors leaving many workers without work. We are calling on the Santa Monica City Council to pass a Right to Recall Ordinance so that Rusty’s workers are offered the opportunity to return to work if and when the restaurant re-opens. Sign the petition to tell the Santa Monica City Council that we need Right of Recall NOW!

Rest in Power Kent Wong

We are heartbroken by the loss of our dear friend, mentor, and long-time ally, Kent Wong.

Kent was a pillar in the labor and immigrant rights movement. Kent worked alongside our great mentor, Reverend James Lawson, for over four decades, including 22 years of teaching together at UCLA. A visionary with unwavering dedication and compassion, he carried on Reverend Lawson’s legacy of non violent direct action as a powerful tool for social change.

Kent stood with workers, students, and communities for decades and never backed down from the fight for dignity and justice. His legacy lives on in every organizer he mentored, every campaign he shaped, and every person he uplifted. We are forever grateful for his solidarity, leadership, and friendship. We will continue the fight, and carry his legacy and teachings with us.

Rest in Power, Kent.

NO ICE IN LA

On Saturday October 4 we marched together with a  powerful coalition of orgs, unions, and community groups to protest ICE and the $29.9 billion giveaway they received to tear our country apart.  We took to the streets to fight for justice, dignity, and freedom, and to say:  NO more ICE in our neighborhoods, NO more raids or fear, and YES to love and the power of the working class.
