YVR Airport Concessions Union Files Unfair Labor Practices Complaint Against Atlanta-based Paradies Lagardère

The union alleges Paradies Lagardère retaliated against workers and interfered with union efforts at YVR, citing wages $6–$7 below comparable unionized jobs.

  • On Nov. 26, 2025, UNITE HERE Local 40 filed a ULP alleging Paradies Lagardère intimidated, retaliated, and interfered at Vancouver International Airport shortly after management learned a union supporter encouraged another worker to sign a union card.
  • Workers sought union representation because Paradies wages lag $6 and $7 per hour behind HMSHost and SSP, and the union notified a YVR official two days before the incidents.
  • Paradies managers held closed-door captive-audience meetings questioning employees about union cards, and one union supporter had hours cut and was threatened, Zailda Chan said `These actions are textbook violations of the Labor Code`.
  • UNITE HERE is seeking a Board declaration and remedial certification from the British Columbia Labour Relations Board, alleging Paradies violated the Labor Code at Vancouver Airport.
  • Community groups in Jacksonville urged the Jacksonville Aviation Authority as over 500 Duval County residents and the North Florida Central Labor Council pressed for an alternative operator at Jacksonville International Airport.
