Earlier this month, I wrote about how Gate Gourmet and the unions representing some of its employees were released from mandatory labor talks by The National Mediation Board. This meant that the airline catering company could have gone on strike as early as July 30th (after the 30-day cooling-off period would have ended). Luckily, a tentative agreement has been reached and flights served by Gate Gourmet will still see catering in flight.
The airline caterer provisions many airlines including Air Canada, Air France, British Airways, Qatar Airways, United Airlines, and more in the United States. If the employees had gone on strike, thousands of passengers would have been left without meals, snacks, and beverages on their flights in August.

Strikes can and do happen. This spring, Gate Gourmet workers at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) struck before they were able to get a new contract. It did not come to this with this situation and operations will not be disrupted. Gate Gourmet’s 8,000 workers that service 30 airports will continue to work.
Anthony’s Take: Thankfully, employees are not going to strike as an agreement has been reached. Bon Appetit!
