These are a pair of my work shoes.
As you can see, I walked 10 to 14 miles every shift, and I'm now on my third pair.
The reality for us workers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport is that we're understaffed and don't have enough workers.
Some of us are even asked by management to double push, meaning pushing two wheelchairs at the same time.
Imagine walking through a crowded airport, pushing two wheelchairs at once while trying to navigate around people.
Now add a tight connection and your luggage to the situation.
It's stressful and can be dangerous for both me and the passengers.
When it's really busy, I've seen passengers left behind waiting more than 30 minutes because there simply aren't enough of us.
My job is to make sure these passengers are comfortable and safe, but how can I do that if I'm being rushed by management?
They rush us while doing aisle chairs.
These are narrow wheelchairs we use to transport passengers.
We're helping them to get to and from their seats on the aircraft.
But some of these chairs are maintained and falling apart.
We can do our best for customers, but management tells us that they can get fined if passengers stay on the plane too long.
Passengers deserve better, and so do we, the worker.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you, Mayor, members of council.
Earlier today, you received, I believe in your offices, the impact report as it relates to Mobility Plus.
And what's so important about this is that the team has been working for the better part of nine months for us to get a better understanding of what are the gaps that are out there.
So we have this $25 billion gap.
