A May Day protest at San Francisco International Airport led to the arrest of 25 individuals, including local supervisors and a state senator. The protest, organized by airline-contracted service workers, focused on demands for fair wages and improved working conditions. Protesters shut down the departures roadway, advocating for a wage increase to $30 an hour, while the current living wage stands at $22.04.
