Around 200 workers at Dulles Airport are going on strike for days during the busiest time ahead of Christmas.
ABC7's Ryan Hughes reported that a number of workers started leaving at 3 a.m. on Wednesday and that the strike is supposed to last two days.
The strike was announced Monday and is part of the contracted service workers' fight for better pay from Huntleigh USA Corporation and the ability to unionize.
Some of the workers say they are only paid $6.50 an hour and that they need to work multiple jobs. This will mark the third year an a row that the workers will ask for $15 an hour.
