Airline passengers could face a summer of disruptions if disputes between workers and aviation bosses deepens, a union has warned. GMB general secretary Gary Smith said workers could be forced to take industrial action unless rows with airline bosses are resolved.
The result of a ballot is due to announced after the June 23 cut-off. Mr Smith told the Mirror : “If there is strike action what it is going to do is absolutely grind airports across the UK to a halt.
“It’s going to have a devastating impact on the UK in terms of the economy, and it will invariably have an impact on the travelling public. Nobody wants that but we need to understand the absolute anger that exists amongst a group of workers across the aviation sector who have not had the respect or rewards they have deserved for years.”
