Large numbers of workers at another UK airport have backed strike action in a dispute over pay. It is the latest blow for passengers already hit by a summer of delays and cancellations.
Strikes at Prestwick Airport in Scotland could start on Friday, August 5 and will continue over four weeks on every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Unite union says the dispute centres on wage increases, shift allowances and pay levels for new employees.
More than 80 employees including airport security, firefighters, airfield operators, ground crew, ground handling, cargo, customer services staff and cleaners are represented by the Unite union. Ryanair is the main carrier operating out of the airport.
