Kennedy Airport Friday to share horror stories about their time at the runway and tarmac service company they claim has little regard for its staff. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery single day I come to work, wondering if I\u2019m going to make it home safe at the end of my shift. A lot of the equipment we use is old, broken down, and honestly unsafe,\u201d said John Mosquera, who has worked as an AGI ramp agent with Frontier Airlines at LGA for nearly two years. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>AGI workers rallied at JFK to expose unsafe working conditions within the company. <span class=\"credit\">Kevin C.

We all deserve to work with dignity and to make it home to our family \u2026 No bag, no flight and no company is worth our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>The rally comes one week after SEIU Local 32BJ filed two formal \u201cbombshell\u201d complaints with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on behalf of 21 different AGI workers across JFK and LGA.<\/p>\n<p>The workers, who are not part of a union, lodged a litany of allegations against AGI, including malfunctioning brakes, prevalent injuries, vehicles in disrepair, unsafe working conditions, no mirrors on vehicles, lack of training and more.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>AGI was named to the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) \u201cDirty Dozen\u201d list of companies with significant workplace safety concerns last month. <span class=\"credit\">Kevin C.

This winter was long and brutal. My coworkers and I spent hours outside working in freezing temperatures. It didn\u2019t matter if we were cold, tired, sick or exhausted. We still had to show up and do the job because we have families depending on us,\u201d said Shadequia Mercer, who worked for AGI on the ramp and in the baggage room at LaGuardia with Spirit Airlines for two years before she was laid off last week. <\/p>\n<p>Mercer claimed that AGI had little compassion for its workers when Spirit shut down, saying many are still left waiting for their paychecks. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>One AGI employee claimed he was suspended for asking for a water break during last summer\u2019s heat wave. <span class=\"credit\">Kevin C.
