Workers at Newark Liberty International Airport went on strike Tuesday night due to an alleged labor dispute that will also affect the major New York airports. 

United Airlines planes at Newark Liberty International Airport in December. United is one of the airlines that have not agreed to talks with the service workers.

PrimeFlight workers hit the curbside pavements of Newark Airport just after 9 p.m. "Refusal to bargain in good faith" was the common phrase on fliers. 

"Airport workers deserve access to their legal rights!" said labor union group 32BJ Service Employees International Union in a tweet.

Organizers have said they will also picket Wednesday at 8 a.m. at Newark, John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia Airports. 

The 700 workers consist of baggage claim handlers, cleaners, customer service agents and offer assistance to those who seek wheelchair assistance at the airport. 

PrimeFlight is a subcontractor for several airlines. The strike would continue for at least three days.

It's not known what, if any, disruption may come at the airport due to those who decided to strike.
