Salud Garcia, 80, walks a picket line to fight for higher wages. She won’t benefit much, given her age, but she wants younger employees to be able to 'retire with dignity.'
In the land of killer commutes, Salud Garcia’s trek is such a slog, she should get a gold medal at the finish line each day. She leaves her home in Reseda before dawn, takes a bus to a train, then another bus, followed by another. When she arrives at her job site near LAX — more than two hours later — it’s just about 7 a.m. “I run to the bathroom and then get to work,” said Garcia, a dishwasher for a food catering company that serves airlines.
It said, in part, that the Flying Food Group “has created hundreds of jobs in the L.A. area offering great pay and benefits while providing a modern and safe working environment for all.” The union begs to differ, pointing to multiple findings in the last few years by city, county and state agencies that safety standards and compensation requirements have not been met. Last August, the state labor commissioner fined Flying Food Group $1.
