Aer Lingus cabin crew at Manchester Airport are escalating their pay dispute with the airline.
Their union Unite has added more strike dates for the 130 workers.
The will now stage walkouts from 9 to 11 November, 14 November and 16 to 18 November in addition to the strike from 30 October to 2 November.
Cabin crew members rejected the latest pay offer from the airline
The pay offer was significant but the union says Manchester crew salaries are exceedingly low. It says there is a difference of several thousand pounds compared to Dublin based colleagues.
“Any strike action will be hugely disruptive, but the additional action is entirely the fault of Aer Lingus who have consistently put profits over people,” Unite said.
Unite also accuses the airline of engaging in ‘strike busting’ tactics.
Ahead of the strike, it has made changes to crew rosters, and plans to lease crew from other operators, the union said.
