Strikes set to disrupt flights at Southampton Airport


Strikes set to disrupt flights at Southampton Airport

Sunday, 27 Oct, 2022 0

Travellers are being warned of disruption as workers will take a series of one day strikes in November at Southampton Airport.

Workers will hold one-day strikes on Saturday 5 November, Saturday 12 November and Saturday 19 November.

Operations controllers, firefighters, technicians and engineering staff will take strike action after going three years without a pay rise.

Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: “During the pandemic workers at Southampton Airport made huge sacrifices, accepting reductions in pay and conditions while working around the clock to keep the airport safe and running.”

“Inflation is now at a 40 year high. It’s completely wrong for the employers, AGS, to refuse these safety critical workers a decent pay increase.” 

AGS Airports also own Aberdeen and Glasgow airports.

Unite calls the current pay structure ‘a complete mess’ saying workers doing the same jobs are being paid differently.
