Luton Airport taxi drivers strike over pay row
Taxi drivers at Luton Airport have decided to go on strike for 24 hours in order to protest low wages and unfair conditions. Members of the union that represents drivers have expressed that they do not feel that they are earning minimum wage. Workers have also expressed that prior to the strike, they have attempted to communicate their concerns with the company, and they have tried protesting- striking is their last resort. While the employer has stated that it regularly evaluates driver pay, the union has expressed that driver wages have decreased due to the employer taking a larger commission out of drivers’ earnings.
