Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector union, is holding a rally at Calgary International Airport during the Calgary Stampede to protest Paladin’s denial of bathroom breaks and water to airport security workers. The union claims that Paladin, which took over airport security operations in April, has created deplorable working conditions, including chronic understaffing, arbitrary dismissals, and limited access to basic necessities like water and washrooms. Unifor is demanding that Paladin address these issues immediately and treat their members with dignity and respect.
