About 700 ground crew workers at Canada's busiest airport are on strike after rejecting a contract offer from their employer.
The unionized workers at Toronto's Pearson International Airport are employed by Swissport, a company that services 30 airlines at the airport including Sunwing, Air Transat, Air France and British Airways.
The members of Teamsters Local 419 include baggage handlers, cargo handlers, cabin cleaners and other ground staff, as well as some employees who tow planes for the airlines Swissport services.
The union says 95 per cent voted against the company's contract proposal.
The Greater Toronto Airports Authority said it had a contingency plan in place in the event of a strike or labour disruption but did not provide details.
