MEXICO CITY, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Unionized employees at Mexican airline Interjet went on strike on Friday, a union spokesman said, after weeks of flight cancellations as the company struggles to maintain operations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Videos shared on social media showed groups of striking workers at Interjet counters in Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport and outside Toluca International Airport, about 41 miles (66 km) away.
The majority of employees voted to strike at the company’s premises in Mexico City to recoup some wages and benefits through the union, the Seccion 15 workers union said in a statement.
