22 Oakland Airport Security Workers
Airport security workers and their supporters demonstrate against their employer, Aviation Safeguard, at the Oakland airport. Workers, most of whom are Filipino immigrants, are trying to join a union, Service Employees Local 1877, and accuse the company of discriminating against them, refusing to recognize their rights, and not paying the wage mandated by Oakland's living wage law.
