United Airlines to face catering workers picket

United Airlines is about to once again confront Unite Here, the labour union that has for months been seeking to get United’s 2,700 in-house food catering workers into the Unite Here fold. Unite Here organisers say they and some of United’s catering workers will be present Tuesday outside Terminal 7 at Houston George Bush International, where United has a major hub. Tuesday, United plans to unveil the fourth of what eventually will be a network of exclusive Polaris lounges for travellers in the carrier’s Polaris international business class cabin. Unite Here organisers and United catering workers previously set up a high-profile picket line in front of Chicago’s Willis Tower last month while United was holding at that location its annual meeting presided over by CE Oscar Munoz. <br/>
