LAX travelers abandon cars, walk to airport as protesters block building during Thanksgiving rush
Holiday travelers heading to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) faced severe disruptions as hundreds of protesters blocked the road outside during one of the busiest travel periods of the year, according to reports.
The demonstrations brought traffic outside the main airport building to a standstill, forcing people to abandon their cars and walk to the airport to catch their flights on time, according to FOX 11.
On Tuesday, the protesters marched onto Century Boulevard, blocking a major entrance to the airport and shutting down traffic around LAX’s main pickup and drop-off zones.
Police in riot gear arrived and cleared the intersection shortly after 6:15 p.m., gradually allowing traffic to resume.
Fox News reported another protest broke out in Terminal 7 Wednesday morning involving workers from USWW, the nation's largest security officers union.
At the center of the protest outside the airport is an escalating labor dispute with Flying Food Group, one of LAX’s largest airline catering contractors.
