Around 230 workers at London Gatwick, Britain's second busiest airport, will take eight days of strike action this month over pay disputes, the Unite trade union said on Wednesday [yesterday], warning of flight disruptions during the peak summer travel period.
Ground handlers, passenger assistance and other airport workers at Gatwick have been negotiating with various employers including Red Handling, Wilson James, Menzies and ASC, in separate pay disputes.
Last month some planned strikes were called off after workers received improved pay offers. However on Wednesday Unite said workers from Red Handling and Wilson James would take industrial action.
The latest strikes, which will take place in various tranches from Aug. 18-28, ending on the day of a national bank holiday in Britain, will disrupt or delay over 200 flights during the first four days, Unite said.
