PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A rally took place at Philadelphia International Airport on Thursday after baggage handlers and wheelchair attendants walked off the job.

The workers are subcontractors for Prime Flight and McGinn Security.

They say their employers are not providing enough pay or sick days.

Similar protests are happening at other major airports in Chicago, Boston, New York City and Washington DC.
