Aircraft diverts during dispute
Quote from earlier post.
AIRPORTS STRIKES CALLED
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.
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.
Mr Lyle said he hoped the strikes could be averted,
and maintained that BAA could afford to increase its
offer after making big profits this year.
Workers felt frustrated at the offer, given their
increased workloads and responsibilities following
the September 11 outrage, he added.
Can somebody answer me this.
Will these airports mentioned above be excepting aircraft
or not, and if not will airlines from the State's, Europe
and beyond be still sending aircraft with the intention
of diverting them to other UK airports not involved in the dispute???
