The complaints from about a hundred employees were embarrassing, shocking and in some instances unbelievable.

Scamming is a career now . Them Folks will never stop stealing
Now a days! I really don't know who to believe. Everyone plays the victim, including the corporations.
when I'm at Hartsfield all I see is employees walking around talking on phones
Right 😂
Agreed

Or the rude fast food employees.
Ngl I worked at the airport before we are were treated like slaves
"Treated like slaves"??? Last time I knew, slaves didn't have a choice and didn't get paid!👍
People don’t like to follow rules, when they get told to do their job they call it slavery
Many of you are confusing City of Atlanta employees, with TSA, concessions, airlines, wheelchair pushers, housekeeping, etc. You will not see MOST city employees, when you're walking through the airport, to catch a flight. They are behind the scenes, keeping the airport RUNNING inside and outside, no matter the weather conditions. The funds allocated during the height of COVID were federal government funds, NOT city funds coming from tax-payers. The workers are DUE these funds, that the city collected on their behalf. Imagine someone organizing a GOFUNDME or given a "loan" that does not have to be paid back, on your behalf, but you are NEVER GIVEN the funds...but someone got it. Same thing here people.
Have you flown through that godforsaken airport? Those employees are not doing anything. They walk around in a weed daze yelling at people on their cell phones. The workers down there are lazy, entitled shits who think that stealing luggage and failing security checks earned them a raise.
Most people have no clue on how an airport function. All the different agencies/ businesses at the airport is not the airport. They just work there and alot of maintenance for some airports don't even work for the airport.
@@lesterjones9335 FACTS. The City of Atlanta manages and runs the airport. These folks work for the City of Atlanta, and are assigned to the airport. They don’t get flight benefits because they’re at the airport. The city generates it’s on revenue from the airport. The money for raises is there, just like council said.
@yolandami5923 I definitely understand I work for an airport some are run by local government and some are run by state some are private
Very few by states. Most of them are by cities or municipal authorities.
Quit...move on and steal elsewhere.
Of course Atlanta is ghetto fab
Facts 💯
Quit...seek better employment....are these the lazy and rude airport workers....who are so damn rude and lazy and are caught stealing left and right? Oh... them
In all the times I’ve gone through that airport, I quickly realized the employees there (especially the TSA idiots) can’t get a job anywhere else, so they work there! It’s the dump zone for those types. Basically, if you’re breathing, you’re hired!
If you don't like the job, quit. No manager wants to deal with the crybabies
Pay a liveable salary or there will be nothing left but a crying manager
@@BigdogDog-rk8ci
Care to explain what a "livable wage" is and based on whose standards! Hell, I want my wage to equal congress!
Everyone who WANTS to work should be able to live off 40 hrs wether it be in the ghetto or a prestigious neighborhood. That’s what a livable wage is
@@TheGreatTiam777
So everyone wants to be able to live like congress! Care to explain how that works? A "living wage" is subjective, not objective! I'd love to read how you plan on making that work!👌
@@TheGreatTiam777 my 40 doesn't allow me to live in a 45,000 sq house or own an airplane. I'm being treated as a slave.
Wait a second…Da Y’all know how long these folk’s received that extra pay???
A lot longer than everyone else who Didn’t get ANYTHING extra for doing their Job!!
To be more honest, ask these folks what exactly they do for HJIA and the CoA??
sounds like an EEOC complaint .... Call the Labor Dept
they knew COVID pay wasn't going to be long term or forever! sack up and do your jobs.
They can always quit
Or, the managers can be more professional and follow the law!
@@onceagain6184 What law they get Covid benefits forever
I call bs sounds more like entitled brats that don’t want to do hard work!! I worked baggage and runway for airlines it can e very demanding hot extreme cold if one has no backbone it’s not the job for you!!!!!! Lots of people would be greatfull to have that job. Hate it then leave n give someone a job that wants to work
How do you work baggage and runway for an airline?
welcome to the real world!!!!!
They are airfield workers these folks ensure that the area the planes land on is safe.
You will not see them in the atrium or on the concourse
Except when they're walking around on their cell phones. Then you can see them, which is often. That's of course when your bags aren't being rummaged through for valuables.
Sounds like non of them have an education..how did they get them jobs
why these ppl dont have no videos of the bad treatment??? and if you dont like the pay, get another job?
Wow let’s go Brandon
I,agree!
I was at a major airport in japan and also, the Atlanta airport in the same week. Which location do you think was like a precision military operation??
This is ridiculous if you don't like your job go get another one it's that simple you live in the freest the nation in the world there are jobs galore
I have been in the restrooms in the airport and I have smell nothing but alcohol from the custodians when they pass by me
For every whiny or troublesome employee there is an illegal immigrant that would be forever grateful to have a living wage airport job with benefits, paid leave, and medical benefits for their family.
Well, my flight left on time, so......
Wow, I didn’t know slaves got paid and had benefits and had the option to go home😂
arent they in a union???
Go work at the post office for a day, you'll run back to that airport!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 has to be blak workers crying again
Andre Dickens you need to resign, you are far from a leader.
They have to add more detail to the victim statements. Not saying the claims are false but what are the details. They don't have to claim abuse to feel they deserve more pay. Will keep tuning in.
This is not new news. You are just now finding out about it now.
I hate flighting out of atl, worst experience every time
organize a union
Pay them NOW!
If E. Jean Carroll was granted more than 90 millions after claiming Trump raped her after getting with him in a dressing room to try some lingerie? How much should this poor women get? I'm waiting for the me too movement people to come and help them get paid!
Glad they spoke up
Yes please pay them and give them the respect they deserve. These employees have a huge impact on everyone who fly in and out of that airport. Ik those managers aren’t gonna roll up their sleeves and do the work if these employees go on strike so let’s get it together before it gets to that
Them illegals are waiting in the wings for them ninjas to strike! 😅
I was at Manchester, UK airport and Hartsfield. Manchester was a dream the later a dang nightmare.
hmm... having lived and worked in ATL and NYC, the hourly pay is different for certain jobs and industries because of each cities cost of living. But, for Airport jobs, I would suggest comparing Jackson-Hartsfield to JFK, Laguardia, and Newark Airports since the ATL airport is known as the busiest while the metro NYC-NJ airports are a part of the global airplane hubs. Having worked at JFK airport, I would and wouldn't be surprised by a difference in hourly pay between the two cities airports.
0:54 - mainly because they're barely understandable. There's accent, then there is deliberate slurring. If you must use colloquialisms constantly at least speak them clearly.
Ah, another topic blown out of proportion and somewhat lowkey *according to the comments and majority of FOX news in general* jab at the "middle class". And being betrayed as lazy or poor workers. People who airtime daily or frequently on this comment section are VERY telling 😂 *busts out silver spoon* 🥄
Completely support the maintenance workers!
I’ve got some complaints of my own!
When you fly out of that trash airport you’re treated like crap! I’ve got an idea, treat your customers like humans instead of crap! Try that for a while!

@@nicoleelder4134 Have you gone berserk??? Can't you see that man is a ni.....
oh sorry, wrong person..
@htiekmahned8859 Have you gone berserk? Can't you see that man is a nit?
They are required to actually WORK! You all have carried it too far!
This the airport where a guy just had a gun go missing from his checked bag?
I dont believe it i cant get a single paycheck because im brown man a christian and superman
WELL, SOMEBODY BOUT TO GET A CHECK
They better get paid! If that woman claiming Trump sexual assault her 300 hundred years ago and don't have to prove nothing is getting 80 millions .. the Atlanta women better get a bigger check because poor minorities women get sexually harassed all their time at work and we have to deal with it.. I can Tell you that because my first Job was in the Miami airport Hilton hotel as a housekeeper..and we have to deal with freaks every day !
Frfr couldn’t wait for they moment you waited to sue to tell that the man was harrassing you to have sex with him yea okay 😂
Va homeless veterans
City and big business is making billions off the airport and the lowly workers get paid crumbs, this is typical of society. It must change, equal pay for all. Whether you are mayor, manager, athlete, governor, ceo of big company the pay needs to be closer in line with others. No one person should ever make over $300,000 unless they own their own business.
Ridiculous.
That airport is a taxpayer subsidized monstrosity. You're right about the city, those officials graft millions a year off of it. Those "lowly workers" is indicative of your mistake. They aren't "lowly workers". They are employees paid to do a job under contract that can be broken at any time for any reason. An employee can walk out mid shift and never come back. At any time for any reason or no reason at all. They are not lowly, they are empowered with choice.
Your method removes choice. You can't do that and expect to have any sort of society that isn't an ant colony.
Boycott, you have the power, shut it down 👿
Legalize cannabis in Atlanta
It may as well be legal as everyone acts like it is
@@mikeb4708 it more the tax revenue for the state. $3 Billion dollars in tax revenue in 2022 from state sales of cannabis. As well as the it’s what the people want, hints why everyone is doing it
Ms Proctor needs more air time on this important story of employee abuse. Not right for these people to be mistreated and if you don’t follow up it will continue.
😢
Don’t discount the fact that their race plays a major role in why they are mistreated
