Well travelling through EDI will be fine this Summer if this Swissport strike goes ahead! At the same time, if the allegations of bullying are true, then it is absolutely disgusting behaviour from the Swissport managers.

Edinburgh airport faces summer of chaos as staff threaten strikes over bullying claims

Staff at Edinburgh airport have made allegations that bullying is "rife" amongst Swissport bosses who have been accused of "intimidating" and "bullying" workers.

Passengers flying to and from Edinburgh airport could be in for a chaotic summer as workers threaten to walk out following allegations of “horrendous” bullying.

Staff at Scotland's busiest airport have alleged that Swissport bosses have been intimidating workers with the problem branded "rife" at the capital airport.

A recent study revealed that Edinburgh airport is the worst in Scotland for flight delays, the Daily Record reports.

GMB union officials will ballot today for strike action after “persistent” complaints by workers. One, Samantha Brownlie, was suspended in February after supporting five workers’ complaints.

The union rep, 30, who has worked at the airport for two years, fears she will be laid off.

She claimed: “The bullying is horrendous and it’s made my life hell. I’ve been shouted at and belittled in front of passengers and team members. I’ve broken down in tears over it. I was once told, “You’re f***ing useless, just do your job.”

The company came under fire last summer amid scores of complaints about lost or delayed luggage.
