Well the good news is that it has been announced that security staff are the latest workers to secure big pay rises due to a recruitment crises in part due to a lack of Eastern Europeans to fill vacancies who always seemed to work for peanuts, so holding the wage rates down. I know there will be outrage at that suggestion but it is a painful fact that should be accepted.
First we had the care bears who went on strike last year after a proposed wage freeze. Now some have secured pay rises of 20% for those that hold HVG licences while others have secured less than inflation rises of 4.3%.

Now security staff who were screwed for years have had the last laugh by getting rises worth £1800.
This wasn't a case of Luton Airport recognising the value of its staff but more of a case that they could not get anyone to now work the shift pattens for the wages offered after their T&C where changed just before Covid.

Good for them I say.
So will the costs be passed on to the airlines?
