More than 100 SEIU Local 615 workers who clean planes at Logan International Airport began a 24-hour strike last night after the failure of contract negotiations with their employer, facilities management company Aramark Corp., union spokeswoman Sarrin List said. The workers, contracted to clean planes for Delta Air Lines and United Airlines, belong to SEIU Local 615, a national union affiliated with the Service Employees International Union. The employees went on strike after reaching an agreement with the Massachusetts Port Authority so that necessary security precautions could be put in place, List said. About 20 workers are striking at a time, spread out over three shifts, she said.

This strike received national press attention, from Washington, D.C., to Chicago, to San Francisco. The local coverage was extensive, as well:
