Airport workers get infectious disease control training
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has begun training for airport workers, in order to equip cabin cleaners, janitorial workers, baggage handlers, security officers and wheelchair attendants with the tools necessary to better tackle infectious diseases.
The union says the services rendered by cabin cleaners and wheelchair attendants could help minimize the risks of possible contamination, but workers are given little to no training by their employers or the airlines they serve.
