Workers at Philadelphia International Airport are among employees at seven airports nationwide that are going on strike beginning Wednesday night, according to reports.

In addition to Philadelphia, the strike will hit New York’s Kennedy and LaGuardia airports, as well as Newark Liberty, Chicago O’Hare, Boston, and Fort Lauderdale, the report states.
