Cabin cleaners, attendants and other workers at Los Angeles International Airport began a three-day-long fast Monday to protest what they claim is the practice of employers to withhold breaks or "steal" wages from their workers.
In an action timed to coincide with the Thanksgiving travel season, nearly a dozen employees for two airport contractors, Aviation Safeguards and Scientific Concepts, say they plan to subsist only on liquids inside the Tom Bradley International Terminal for three days and sleep at a nearby church.
