Airplane Janitors Strike Over Ebola Tainted Feces

Employees of Air Serv, which cleans some of Delta’s airplanes, went on strike at LaGuardia for 24 hours citing Ebola concerns before promptly returning to work at a prearranged time go clean up some more contaminated lavatories. Air Serv hired some scabs for the day and probably didn’t sweat it. Delta doesn’t give a fuck if there’s a puddle of puke or an Ebola consumed corpse on your seat just so long as you don’t ask for Geneva Convention humane levels of legroom. A union rep explained the employees are not even given proper protective gear when cleaning various colonies of foreign viruses:

“We’re in contact with feces. We’re in contact with urine, and those bathrooms have to be very clean. The pressure that we’re under to clean each plane is only 5 to 8 minutes, and 5 to 8 minutes with gloves that break instantly you’re not protecting yourself from anything.”

There are epidemiological lessons to be learned here. The weak will die first. The more Purell you apply to your child’s chubby little hands, the sooner he will be consumed by the deadly plague. These poor immigrant workers are tempered in piss and shit and you don’t see them complaining about Lyme disease, fibromayalgia or undercooked free range beef. It’s because they’re tough. Quit your bullshit hysteria and run your tongue across the escalator rail on your direct flight to the stickiest country you can think of. Stop being a bitch. Ebola eats the bitches.
