Airport staff in pre-Christmas strike
Over 1,500 employees of Swissport, the world’s largest ground and cargo handler, will strike at airports throughout the United Kingdom from December 23rd to December 25th. Both cargo crew members and baggage handlers will participate in the strike, fighting for better pay and conditions. The employees are being represented by Unite and rejected a previous contract because its pay increase was too conservative given the current rate of inflation.
