Holidaymakers planning to travel through gatwick-airport-strike-called-off-as-ground-staff-accept-revised-pay-offers-totalenergies-ceo-stands-firm-on-german-offshore-wind-lease-amid-criticism/" data-type="post" data-id="462872">Gatwick Airport this month have been cautioned about the possibility of “severe disruption” due to a fresh wave of strikes announced by ground staff. Unite, the UK’s leading trade union, revealed that more than 230 workers employed by two contracted firms at Gatwick Airport will participate in the strikes. The industrial action stems from a dispute over pay.
Unite has predicted that the first wave of strikes, which are set to occur in late August, could result in approximately 216 flights being disrupted, affecting around 45,000 passengers. The potential disruption comes after around 1,000 Gatwick staff employed by four other companies called off their strike plans for the summer after being offered substantial pay increases.
