A group representing air carriers including Delta Air Lines Inc. and United Parcel Service Inc. sued Los Angeles International Airport to block a new requirement for companies that clean and provide baggage services for their planes to bargain with unions.

A new rule mandates that companies providing services including aircraft fueling and cleaning, baggage handling and ticket services negotiate so-called labor-peace agreements with unions representing workers in those fields, even if their employees aren’t members.
