Security strike at MAN?

Security workers at Manchester Airport have overwhelmingly rejected MAPlc's latest pay offer in a recent ballot according to the TGWU regional Industrial orginiser Brian Bowan.

18 months ago workers had no choice but to except a 40-50% pay cut and an increase from a 38 to 42 hour working week, less sick pay and rotten rosters etc etc.

Manchester Airport Security are the lowest paid in-house security in the country.

During the last 18 months directors on the board have enjoyed 50% plus pay rises and bonuses of £49,000 for some this year and tens of thousands of pounds poured into their pension funds.

If management don't act quickly and offer a living wage similar to what BAA pay their workforce, then there could be trouble ahead!
