LAZ Traffic Control Officers At Mid Continent International (MCI) Airport Deserve A Better Future!
Kansas City Councilman Jonathan Duncan has joined our fight and will introduce a Resolution in support of LAZ Traffic Control Officers (TCOs) forming a Union at Mid Continent International (MCI) Airport on June 11.
This summer, Kansas City will host six FIFA World Cup matches, bringing tens of thousands of travelers to Kansas City from all over the world. LAZ TCOs work long hours, during inclement weather, to provide protection for MCI Airport passengers and visitors traveling through the airport 365 days a year.
The support of Councilman Duncan and the City Council are an important step forward for LAZ TCOs fighting for stronger training standards, safer working conditions, and a real voice on the job.
OUR PURPOSE:
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1 is here to help LAZ Traffic Control Officers win job protections, better working conditions, paid time off, and more. Local 1 is a member driven organization dedicated to raising standards for Missouri’s working families.
