Airport workers at five major U.S. airports are demanding $15 an hour.
The workers, mostly cabin and airport cleaners, were picketing Thursday morning at John F. Kennedy and Laguardia airports in New York City, and airports in Newark, N.J., Boston and Philadelphia, according to the Service Employees International Union.
The strike is expected to involve thousands of workers.
A relocation to Nixa from Republic and a rebranding occurred for Aspen Elevated Health; Kuick Noodles LLC opened; and Phelps County Bank launched a new southwest Springfield branch.
