Then Pt2:
Friday 4 August to Tuesday 8 August These Strikers handle your bags, so they are needed. Working for Private Contractors. 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".] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-66199180 Last edited by arista; 15-07-2023 at 12:36 AM. |
