The Unite union is warning passengers using Luton Airport could experience ‘significant disruption’ as it prepares to ballot its members over pay and zero hours’ contracts.
Unite is balloting members directly employed by Luton Airport in several different roles including firefighters and security guards.
The union says the strike ballot is in response to what it describes as ‘the company’s paltry pay offer’.
Unite is also balloting its members at Menzies Aviation, which undertakes baggage handling at the airport, and members of Luton Airport’s branches of International Currency Exchange, in separate disputes.
All of the separate ballots will open next week and will close on Friday May 11.
If members vote in favour of industrial action strikes could begin by the end of next month.
