A planned strike by fuel workers at JFK Airport during Memorial Day weekend was averted after Gov. Kathy Hochul intervened in the labor dispute.
Hochul personally called Port Authority Executive Director Rick Cotton to break the impasse, ensuring that holiday travel plans were not disrupted.
Teamsters Local 553 reached a tentative deal with Allied Aviation Services to avoid the strike, with hopes for member ratification.
Specific details of the new labor contract between the union and Allied Aviation Services were not disclosed until membership approval.
