Swissport says it’s coping with workers strike at Pearson, union disagrees
TORONTO — There were widely differing accounts Sunday on how Canada’s busiest airport coped with the strike of 700 ground workers.
Swissport, which employs the strikers at Toronto’s Pearson airport, said there were no major delays Sunday afternoon.
“Our efforts to move passengers and their bags in and out of Pearson Airport safely and without disruption is working well and there have been no delays with our operation so far,” said Pierre Payette, vice president of Swissport’s operations for Toronto.
However, an official with the Teamsters, which represents the striking workers, painted a far different picture.
