The 11,000 union members working for LSG (UNITE HERE (“UH”) is the labour union which represents LSG Sky Chefs) voted in June 2019 to authorize a strike in Aug. 13 as the union stated that wages at Sky Chefs were as low as $9.85 an hour and that more than half the workers make less than $11.35 an hour and couldn't afford health benefits. [20]
LSG Sky Chefs, however, strongly disagrees with the study’s argument that European companies seek to locate in the South to avoid unions. According to LSG's response to the study, the Company has, and continues to fully support workers’ rights and freedom of association. [21]
