London Gatwick Airport Strikes Off: Weekend Industrial Action Off as Unite Secures Double-Digit Pay Raises at Two More Firms
Strikes scheduled for this weekend at London Gatwick Airport by ASC workers have been called off, according to UK-based union Unite.
ASC workers voted in favour of a double digit pay rise, while workers at Menzies voted in favour of a 13 per cent increase for ground handling staff and a 17 per cent increase for the lowest paid staff, as well as enhancements to annual leave and sick pay.
The votes in favour of the deals mean that both disputes have now ended, and all strike action related to them cancelled. Earlier this week, strikes by Gatwick DHL workers were also called off after the workers voted to accept a 15 per cent pay deal.
