Service Employees International Union members launched a 24-hour strike at Charlotte Douglas International Airport on October 14, 2026. The workers are demanding improved wages, better working conditions, and transparency regarding paid time off. The strike follows the death of contract worker Colleen Coates last month while working a shift cleaning airplanes.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strike occurs while city leaders debate a proposed $2.1 billion expansion for the airport, which would include expanding Concourse C and building a new passenger tunnel. The City Council had voted to require a 45-day review period for the airline lease agreement, but Mayor Rob Harrington vetoed that measure.
