Michelle Aguayo, Human Resources Manager at Flying Food Group, addressed allegations of harassment and discrimination against female employees during a March 13 meeting with the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). She said that these claims are "not true" and that the company "vehemently" denies them.

"First, I would like to address allegations from Unite Here that Flying Food Group tolerates harassment, discrimination, and abuse towards female employees," said Aguayo, HR Manager at Flying Food Group. "This is not true. We vehemently deny that we are allowing harassment against employees to take place in our facility."

According to LAWA.org, Aguayo responded to accusations from the union Unite Here, which claimed that the company tolerated harassment, discrimination, and abuse toward female employees. Aguayo rejected these claims, stating, "This is not true." She emphasized that the company takes such complaints seriously and has taken actions such as transferring accused harassers during investigations.

In October 2024, Flying Food Group CEO David Cotton sent a letter to LAWA CEO John Ackerman alleging that Unite Here members violated Los Angeles Municipal Code Sections 171.02(d) and (n) during protests at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). According to Cotton, union members entered restricted areas without proper authorization on multiple occasions, including demonstrations on July 13, August 30, and October 4. The union's actions reportedly disrupted operations by blocking entrances, distributing flyers, and causing disturbances at airline ticketing counters. Flying Food Group stressed that these actions violated airport security protocols and raised concerns for public safety and smooth airport operations.

Aguayo further testified at the LAWA meeting that Flying Food Group had been negotiating in good faith with Unite Here for three years in an attempt to reach a fair agreement. Despite their efforts, she said the union continued to violate city law by accessing airport property unlawfully. Aguayo called for more cooperation from the union to ensure both the company's and employees' interests are fairly represented.

Michelle Aguayo is identified as the Human Resources Manager at Flying Food Group LLC on its website.
