Nearly one in four airline catering workers — 24% — say unauthorized people could get into their kitchens and trucks, and the same percentage warned that someone could place contraband on a food cart, according to a survey obtained by USA TODAY.
Unite Here, a union representing 12,000 airline catering workers nationwide, surveyed 400 of its members and provided an 18-page report to the Transportation Security Administration on Monday.
"It's a big deal," said Jim Dupont, Unite Here's executive vice president of the food service division. "Our members are very concerned."
The report comes two years after several Delta Air Lines passengers discovered needles in Gate Gourmet sandwiches on flights from Amsterdam on July 16, 2012. Schiphol airport referred questions to Gate Gourmet, which issued a statement Tuesday saying that the company uses vigorous and systematic security procedures.
The company said security protocols are proprietary and sensitive, which catering workers wouldn't specifically know about.
"The report submitted by Unite Here to the TSA does not capture the full extent of these security measures established by TSA regulations and airline requirements, which together comprise a multi-layered security program," Gate Gourmet said in the statement.Read the rest of the story HERE.
