Gate Gourmet workers from Dusseldorf descended on Zurich on Monday morning, 16 January, to bring their demand for fair negotiations to Gate Gourmet European headquarters. In sub-zero temperatures, they gathered first in front of the Gate Gourmet facility at Zurich airport before proceeding to Gate Gourmet International headquarters, a 15-minute march away.

The rally and march was organised by NGG Dusseldorf with the assistance of the Swiss public employees union, VPOD, in Zurich, the union representing Gate Gourmet workers in Switzerland.
