By Alan Jones, Industrial Correspondent, PA News
Firefighters, security guards and other workers at seven airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick, are to stage six one-day strikes in a dispute over pay, union leaders announced today.
The Transport and General Workers Union said its members will walk out on November 28, December 2, 10, 15 and 23 and January 2.
The airports – Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Southampton, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh – will not be able to operate on strike days, said the TGWU’s national officer Tim Lyle.
