Some on Ch5HD - Live 3rd Show 12:40PM
(Owen Jones on the panel)
stated it is because of the effect
Covid-19 did,
when managers laid off workers
brought them back on lower wages.


[Nearly a thousand workers are set to take
eight days of strike action at
Gatwick Airport over the summer
holidays in a row over pay, the
Unite union has said.
The strike could cause some disruption
during what could be the busiest summer
period since the pandemic.
The workers, at four firms,
include baggage handlers and ground staff.
They will strike from Friday 28 July to Tuesday 1 August,
and then again
from Friday 4 August to Tuesday 8 August.

Airlines that will be affected include
British Airways,
EasyJet,
Ryanair,
Tui,
Westjet and
Wizz,
the union said.
The impact of the action is uncertain,
although Unite said disruption, delays
and cancellations were "inevitable".

A spokesperson for Gatwick said it would
"support the airlines affected... with
their contingency plans to ensure
that as many flights as possible
operate as scheduled".]
