Gatwick airport to be hit by eight days of strikes this summer as nearly 1,000 staff set to walk out
Baggage handlers, check-in staff and ground staff are among those expected to participate in the industrial action over July and August.
A spokesperson for Gatwick said “contingency plans” will be put in place to help ensure as many flights as possible are able to run as normal - but Unite union said delays, disruption and cancellations were “inevitable”. "As part of Unite's unyielding focus on the jobs, pay and condition of its members, the union has drawn a line in the sand and is committed to eradicating the scourge of low pay at the airport."
Earlier this week EasyJet announced 1,700 summer flights were to be cancelled due to ongoing ATC issues. "Obviously they will rightly decide what is appropriate. I think, again, across the board, we've seen wage increases in the private sector of around five to 7% on average. And obviously that's in line with the increases that we accepted yesterday."
